Excellence, stewardship, and commitment to our communities have sustained Stoel Rives for more than 100 years.
Community Engagement
At Stoel Rives, we believe our responsibility to the communities where we live and work goes beyond our legal practice. Our attorneys and staff serve on nonprofit and civic boards, lend professional skills through pro bono and volunteer projects, and actively support local initiatives that strengthen our communities.
In the last three years, Stoel Rives provided over $700,000 in direct financial support to more than 100 charitable organizations. This includes firm-wide volunteer days of service and our annual Gratitude campaign, where donations are directed by our Associates Committee.
We invest our financial support, time, and expertise in organizations that expand access to justice, promote education, protect the environment, and foster economic opportunity. Whether through board leadership, volunteering, or community partnerships, this engagement is essential to who we are as a firm.
Environmental Sustainability
Stoel Rives has pursued sustainability initiatives for decades, dating back to the 1980s when our Portland office launched a recycling program before it was available citywide. Today, sustainability remains a firm-wide priority as we work to reduce our environmental footprint.
We integrate sustainable practices into daily operations by limiting paper consumption, reducing energy use, and minimizing waste. We apply sustainability criteria when purchasing supplies and services, improve recycling practices, use office space efficiently, and select materials with high recycled content. We also encourage our colleagues to incorporate sustainable habits into both their professional and personal lives.
