  Role Detail
  For King & Wood Malleson’s (KWM), being a responsible business means looking inwards and outwards, while being highly attuned to the needs of our people and planet. Our firm has a long and proud history of driving positive social and environmental outcomes. More recently, it became apparent that we needed to increase collaboration, expand and deepen our thinking, be more open about the challenges and opportunities we face, and look towards an approach that is more holistic and more joined-up.
  We’re committed to building and sustaining deep, genuine, and trusted partnerships with community-led organisations, education institutions, think tanks and respected advocates. This role will support the implementation, operational delivery, and reporting related to the Responsible Business (RB) Blueprint, which encompasses KWM’s commitments and obligations to a contributing to a fairer and more sustainable world.

• Collaborating with data owners across KWM to assess what data exists which relates to pro bono legal services, Fairer Futures, volunteering, climate change & environment.
• Collecting information on all data platforms and banks across the firm which collect data relating to the RB Blueprint, including reviewing data sources to ensure data integrity and quality.
• The coordination and collation of responses to client surveys, pitches and tenders requesting information on firm’s Responsible Business commitments, obligations, actions and progress.
• Working with the Responsible Business Leadership Team to track the use of RB data and how it is shared, both internally and externally (i.e. reports, tenders, other communications channels), and identifying improvements and efficiencies, including driving innovative solutions with Technology team.
• Working with the Climate Change &Environment Pod to support quality reporting against the firm’s environmental commitments and Science-Based Targets.
• Tracking progress of key targets and metrics outlined within the RB Blueprint and related plans.
• Work with the Responsible Business Leadership Team to identify opportunities for performance enhancement to meet evolving client commitments, obligations, and expectations.
• Supporting the development of performance reporting templates, dashboards, and reports.
• Supporting the collaborative effort to deliver the firm’s annual Responsible Business Report and CDP reporting, with support from relevant stakeholders.
• Supporting the alignment of the firm’s RB Program of Works to external reporting benchmarks (e.g. UNSDGs, ISSB).
• Supporting the implementation of evaluation processes (working closely with the RB Group) to be best practice in tracking, measuring, and reporting on progress as against strategy and outcome indicators.
• Building relationships with external stakeholders in relation to RB reporting and performance.
