Our French team has created the "Bird & Bird & Diversity and CSR" endowment fund dedicated to diversity and CSR commitments.
This fund aims to develop our various actions in place in France and internationally for diversity and to support a greater number of initiatives by our teams. Some of the initiatives we’ve supported for several years include TalentsdesCités, Revel@Her, ViensVoirMonTaf, Droit d’accès, Club XXIe siècle, l’Autre Cercle and Urgence Identité Afrique.
The fund has a board of directors composed of Benjamine Fiedler, Djazia Tiourtite, Alexandre Vuchot and Boris Martor. It also includes an advisory committee made up of the 20+ members of the firm involved in its diversity committee, which meets on a monthly basis.
"With this fund, we want to continue and consolidate our actions in favour of equal opportunities and inclusion. All the teams of Bird & Bird strongly believe that the social responsibility of a law firm is fundamental."
Alexandre Vuchot, Managing Partner Bird & Bird France
"The launch of this fund demonstrates the desire of all Bird & Bird teams to be part of an inclusive and sustainable approach promoting equal opportunities, participation and support for shared actions in terms of diversity and protection of all members of society. We look forward to contributing further to a more diverse, just and inclusive society."
Boris Martor, Partner Bird & Bird, administrateur du fond Bird & Bird & Diversity and CSR
