Corporate Social Responsibility
“Our commitment to our communities and social responsibility is at the heart of the culture and values that define us as a firm.”
Dariusz Oleszczuk, Global Managing Partner
At Salans we believe in local expertise complementing our global outlook, which is why the firm takes a distinctively local approach in its commitment to the communities in which we operate. A global framework of diversity is at the core of the firm. We hire, develop and retain the best people irrespective of their gender, age, nationality or background and encourage them to train, develop and utilise their experience – each office empowers its local people to bring the Salans brand to life in their community.
A unifying theme connects the firm together – an acknowledgment that we can only prosper as a firm if the environments and communities in which we operate also prosper.

-

“We have a long-term commitment to help the communities where we are based and where we work throughout the world. This reflects the firm’s sense of social responsibility and commitment to give time and services, whenever and wherever possible. We also recognise that this works both ways, as it provides high levels of reward and personal development to all those who are involved.”
François M. Chateau, Chairman of the Global Board
