Responsible Business
Our approach to Responsible Business
Our responsible business programme focuses on supporting our local communities and national organisations aligned with the work we do.
Anthony Gold is an Advanced Member of Heart of the City, helping to support local communities, reduce environmental impact, build a more diverse workforce and look after employees’ wellbeing.

Fundasing and charitable giving
We run a charity of the year programme every 2 years.
Charity Begins at Home is our current charity of the year and is based in London. The concept began in 2016 and every Friday since the charity has provided food, clothes, life essentials, and support to people in need in the UK, particularly those who are homeless and surviving on the street, with the help of over 10,000 individual volunteers and corporate partnerships such as ours.
Alongside our charity of the year programme we encourage and support our staff in a range of other fundraising activities aligned with the firm’s core beliefs and values, including annual events for the London Legal Support Trust, and make in kind donations providing charities with items they need most.
We sit on the Team London Bridge Board supporting investment into the community and infrastructure of the London Borough of Southwark.
Pro bono and volunteering
We offer up to 2 days paid annual volunteer leave for every staff member.
We also offer pro-bono work, where no other funding is available, on a case-by-case basis. Our pro-bono work includes being a member of Law Works and their Not for Profit programme, and volunteering at local advice centres and national organisations, including Age UK, Families Need Fathers, and the National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV).
Environmental impact
We are committed to minimising the impact of our business activities on the environment and use carbon footprint tools to reduce our carbon footprint across our offices, as part of the Team London Bridge Zero Carbon project.
We are Member of the Legal Sustainability Alliance.
