ESG & Sustainability Statement

---

At Assiduous Staffing Pty Ltd (ABN 95 671 069 435), we understand that legal professionals and law firms expect integrity, accountability, and responsibility from their partners, including their recruitment providers. We are committed to upholding strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in the way we operate and in the standards we promote across the legal industry. 

We operate as a digital-first business to reduce our environmental footprint. Wherever possible, we:

• Minimise paper use through fully electronic documentation and communications
• Limit unnecessary travel by leveraging video conferencing and flexible work practices
• Work with service providers who align with sustainable values and environmental responsibility
• Continue to assess and refine our operational practices for environmental impact

As a recruitment partner to law firms nationwide, we believe in driving inclusive and equitable hiring outcomes. Our commitments include:

• Advocating for diversity in the legal profession, with a focus on gender, culture, accessibility, and lived experience
• Promoting equal opportunity and merit-based selection at every stage of the recruitment process
• Challenging unconscious bias through education and best practice hiring advice
• Supporting candidates and clients through respectful, transparent, and personalised engagement
• Contributing to causes that reflect our values, such as legal access, mental health, and child health charities

We apply the same standards of professionalism and confidentiality that the legal profession expects from itself:

• Clear, fair terms of business and ethical commercial practices
• Data protection and privacy compliance in line with Australian law
• Transparent communication with clients and candidates
• A zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, harassment, or unethical conduct
• Regular review of our internal processes to ensure alignment with legal and industry expectations
   

At Assiduous Staffing, we don’t view ESG as a tick-box,  it’s embedded in how we work, who we work with, and the legacy we aim to leave in the legal sector.
