Resources
Connecting with our people, clients and wider communities is intrinsic to who we are.
We want to form human and high-performing partnerships that make a difference, that inspire and that promote our chosen UN Sustainable Development Goals.
At the heart of our offering is the Burness Paull Foundation, a registered charity established in 2015 and funded by the firm.
Creative collaborations
With “Connected” as one of our Human & High Performing pillars, it feels natural that we should form partnerships with like-minded organisations, those who are as passionate about creativity and giving individuals the space to perform just as we are.
We proudly support Scottish Ballet as their Next Generation partner. As one of the most innovative national dance companies in the world they push creativity and explore new styles. This reflects our commitment to nurture creativity and tackle problems from a fresh perspective.
TEDx is recognised internationally as a grassroots initiative, bringing TED’s original mission to spread “ideas worth sharing” to local communities around the globe. Being part of the innovative, exciting and inspirational TEDx events sparks a raft of new perspectives and ways of thinking. We have partnered with TEDx Glasgow for a number of years and in 2021, were amongst the first partners of the inaugural TEDx Aberdeen.
Pro-bono
We are committed to providing pro-bono support to a number of initiatives where we can make a difference.
SCOTLAND: The Big Picture are a charity working to restore Scotland’s landscapes, enhance biodiversity, and deliver economic benefits to rural communities. As ‘Rewilding Business Partner’, we will provide pro bono legal advice to support the charity’s Northwoods Rewilding Network, a pioneering initiative connecting a growing community of farmers, crofters, community groups and other landowners who currently steward over 25,000 acres of land across Scotland.
