Diversity and Social Responsibility Committee

To further our commitment, Saxena White launched a Diversity and Social Responsibility Committee to cultivate practices and activities that advance the Firm’s social responsibility mission. At the foundation of our social responsibility policies and programs are the core beliefs that:

  • Diversity enhances our creativity and performance.
  • We are honored to give back to our communities through volunteerism and donations.
  • The planet’s resources should be used with care.

Committee Working Group

This committee is ever changing and committed to evolving with the social issues that are important to our community. Operating under our Diversity and Social Responsibility Committee, Saxena White has an Environmental Working Group.

The Environmental Committee works on fulfilling our Firm’s social responsibility by making the office as eco-friendly as possible and coordinating firm support and participation in environmental community service events. Currently, this working group is focused on achieving a green office by eliminating wasteful habits to reduce our carbon footprint. Some of our recent changes include the elimination of plastic water bottles, plastic utensils, and paper plates, and instituting environmentally friendly habits such as implementing a water filtration system, automatic light sensors, recycled paper, default double-sided printing, and recycling programs.

Diversity Internship Program

Saxena White provides law students from a wide array of diverse backgrounds the opportunity to begin their legal careers with our Diversity Internship Program. We partner with several organizations to search for the most qualified individuals and strive to enhance their legal education. As a woman- and minority-owned law firm, we understand the importance of having a program that promotes diverse candidates in our field.

Now more than ever, there is an importance for companies and their employees to become educated about diversity in the workplace. Through the Diversity and Social Responsibility Committee, Saxena White conducts periodic diversity and bias elimination trainings and educational courses.
