As one of Germany's leading commercial law firms, we have not only an entrepreneurial, but also a social responsibility and a responsibility towards society. Thinking economically. Acting in partnership (and responsibly): this is how we see ourselves – internally and externally.
"CSR" or "ESG"? We have chosen "Our Responsibility". And we want to live up to this responsibility with concrete projects and plans in the areas of sustainability, diversity and social issues.
01
Sustainability
In addition to increasing environmental awareness in our daily work at the law firm and supporting e-mobility through charging stations, JobTicket and JobRad, we have been working with Cologne-based company Planted since 2023.
Planted supports companies in implementing their sustainability goals and plants climate-stable mixed forests in Germany for its partners with its own climate forester, thus protecting the local forest.
We are at the beginning of this process and want to successively expand our contribution to more sustainability.
02
Diversity
Diversity is multifaceted. And we want more of it.
Seitz is a signatory of the Diversity Charter. We stand for diversity in all dimensions, especially diversity of generations, of social and ethnic origins, religions, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, physical and mental abilities and different life plans.
For us, diversity is much more than a signature. For us, diversity is a question of attitude. We can only be successful economically and as a society if we jointly understand the existing diversity as a value, promote it internally and externally and adopt and exemplify it as a basic attitude. That is why we live diversity every day and in everything we do.
No matter how diverse we are, there is never enough diversity. We at Seitz are team players. And our team is strong because it is diverse. And yet: We want more of it, because more diversity makes us even stronger as a team.
03
Social
As team players, we act in partnership. This applies equally to clients and employees. And we support people and initiatives that we are close to and that fit in with us. In the last two years, we have supported the following initiatives, among others, with generous monetary donations:
- Right To Play
- himmel & ääd
- Kölner Philharmonie
- Kölner Grün Stiftung
- Stiftung Deutsche Sporthilfe
- Hätz for Kids
- KIDsmiling
- Kölner Zoo
- seiSTARK
