Partners and staff at Essex accountants Haslers are celebrating after being shortlisted for a prestigious regional award for their work in the community and the environment.

The firm, which is based in Loughton, is a finalist in the Corporate Social Responsibility category at this year’s Docklands Business Awards organised by the Docklands Business Club and East London Chamber of Commerce.

The Haslers team will find out whether they have been successful at an awards ceremony which takes place at The East Wintergarden Hotel, in Canary Wharf, on 29 September.

Haslers’ entry focuses on its highly successful Haslers Foundation as well as its Corporate Social Responsibility Pledge and Environmental Action Plan.

Launched in 2008, the Haslers Foundation supports local charities and fundraisers.

Since 2010, Haslers has raised more than £15,000 for its chosen charity, The Dream Factory, which makes dreams come true for children and young people with terminal or life-limiting medical conditions.

Laurence Jacobs, a partner at the firm, said: “I am delighted that we have been shortlisted for this prestigious award.

“As a firm which has been supporting the local community for nearly 60 years, it is a tremendous honour that our work supporting charities and the environment has been recognised at this stage of the judging.”

The shortlisting is the latest in a long line of awards successes at both regional and national level for Haslers.
