Our connected approach to sustainability addresses priority impacts for our workforce and the communities where we operate. We are taking action by applying human rights due diligence, safer reporting pathways and respectful engagement with First Nations peoples, suppliers and communities, while increasing opportunities for inclusive economic participation.
Thriving people and communities
Our commitment to a fairer society where everyone can thrive makes it our responsibility to contribute to better outcomes for people and communities. With our Growth, for good strategy we are moving from a position of leadership on workforce equality, pro bono work and community engagement, towards strengthened protections and engagement with our suppliers and communities where we operate.

Modern slavery
At Lander & Rogers, we recognise that modern slavery exploits vulnerability and denies individuals freedom, dignity and choice. We are committed to respecting human rights across our operations, supply chain and business relationships, and to strengthening the systems that help identify, prevent, mitigate and respond to risks of exploitation.
Our approach is informed by global frameworks and the growing expectation that organisations move from disclosure to effective due diligence and action. We recognise that modern slavery risks can be hidden deep in supply networks. Our focus is to improve visibility, use our influence responsibly and support better outcomes for people over time.

Pro bono
We want to help create a fairer society. Leveraging our deep legal expertise, we support people, communities, and organisations to build this future together.
Working alongside individuals as well as driving and contributing to broader systemic initiatives, Lander & Rogers' pro bono legal services aim to bring about positive social change by:
- helping people overcome barriers that prevent them from enforcing their legal rights
- supporting not-for-profit organisations whose purpose is to improve lives
- collaborating with the communities and organisations best placed to know the changes needed to make the legal system better, fairer, and more accessible for everyone.
Our pro bono work is focused on four key areas:
- First Nations justice
- Gender-based violence
- Climate and just transitions
- People forcibly displaced
Lander & Rogers also takes general referrals on matters related to other areas of our legal expertise.
