Through our corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, we work with our clients, employees and other stakeholders to better support our local community and reduce our impact on our environment. We are committed to operating our business in an ethical manner that is both sensitive and responsible.

As part of our 2025 CSR programme, we are working in partnership with our staff-elected charity partner Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People. We are currently fundraising on our JustGiving page.

HaysMac is an accredited Living Wage Employer. All our staff are paid at least the London Living Wage. We serve clients across the UK and overseas from our offices in the City of London.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels supported, valued and free to be their authentic selves. Our goal is to continue building on our diverse and inclusive environment that not only celebrates individuality, but also embodies the core values of HaysMac.

Following our employee engagement survey, we acknowledged the feedback shared by HaysMac staff which helped in identifying our key strengths, and culture aspirations. To achieve our vision, we have recently partnered with a consultancy firm to perform a DEI audit, and work with us to achieve our commitment.

Our DEI committee organise a range of internal events including events for cultural celebrations, educational sessions and workshops encouraging staff to connect, learn and share experiences.

As a firm, we are committed to environmental and sustainability initiatives. We recognise the importance of protecting our planet for current and future generations.

We demonstrate this commitment through several initiatives, such as reducing our carbon footprint by implementing energy-efficient practices and technologies throughout our operations. We aim to minimise waste generation by promoting recycling, reusing materials, reducing single use plastics and reducing the amount of paper used. We continuously measure and improve our environmental performance through data supported measures.

Our specific initiatives can be broken down into four main pillars: Carbon, Waste, Water, and Energy, and we detail our current activity and future objectives in our statement, which you can view by clicking the link below. Through our achievements to date and our future plans, we are committed to our environmental sustainability goals. We will continue to review and challenge what our firm can do to minimise impact and make positive contributions to the environment, and a more sustainable future.

Our internal network dedicated to cultivating and nurturing meaningful relationships among our incredible women within HaysMac is FemNet.

Through mentorship, collaboration and mutual support, we strive to create an environment where every women can confidently grow, learn and excel in her professional journey. By fostering these connections, we aim to amplify each other’s voices, raise awareness to the wider firm and to keep driving a positive change within HaysMac.

In this series of events, two partners host a group of 18 staff across a variety of activities in a more informal setting, including theatre, wine tasting, go karting and BMX.

HaysMac's Social Committee arranges fun activities and events to encourage the fostering of new connections across the Firm and invigorate the workplace. Events include our ever-popular summer and Christmas parties, Partners Behind the Bar and Paws in Work.

The wellbeing of our people is always front of mind for us - so we ensure this is a central part of our strategic priorities across all functions, roles and business areas.

Our Wellbeing committee aim to increase awareness of internal and external resources such as Mental Health First Aiders, Cancer Support Ambassadors and Menopause Champions - whilst working on a range of wellbeing initiatives including monthly Wellbeing Lunch and Learns and workshops on a range of valuable wellbeing topics
