积极营造良好内部环境，让每位盛德人都可以做最真实的自己，是我们为全球客户提供优质法律服务不可或缺的环节。当团队在思维、方法、能力和知识方面做到多样化的时候，这样的团队才是最具创造力、思维相碰撞的团队，才能拥有最佳表现。为此，我们将包容型团队引入客户关系和多元化伙伴关系中，以获得最广泛的视角和最具说服力的法律策略。
盛德能够发展壮大，在很大程度上得益于我们践行队伍多样化、创造兼容并蓄的文化，以及在更广泛的法律行业中促进包容和协同的不懈努力。
为实现这些目标，我们设立了支援网络，使一年级到合伙人层级这样不同背景的律师能够获得成功。律师、法学院学生和我们的专业支持人员有大量机会，通过高质量的教育项目、指导、专业拓展和亲和力计划，充分发挥潜力。曾经在盛德工作过的人们也是盛德大家庭的一员，也可以从我们提供的交流机会、思想领导力和提升知名度的平台受益。
作为更公平社会的倡导者，我们致力于支持和投资公民和企业领导机会，以庆祝多元化全球社区的成就、历史和文化。我们寻求机会与客户和地方组织携手合作，利用法律、宣传和教育的力量，进一步落实对多样性和包容性的共同承诺。全球盛德律师在一系列问题上密切合作，包括许多为边缘化个人和群体带来希望的重大法律决定的事项。盛德可同各方一道，利用独特的发声渠道和背景，消除不公平现象，推进和保护平等、包容、争议和廉洁的基本原则。
种族暴力和系统性歧视事件虽然令人沮丧，但同时也为我们提供了机会，展现我们的核心价值观，重申支持融入我们生活和工作的社区的决心。这是我们当今这个社会所经历的关键时刻。世界各地的人们都在展示着团结一致带来变革的非凡力量。 尽管我们面临着新的挑战，但作为一家律师事务所，我们将与各界共同应对这些挑战，致力于尽一切努力为人类的美好未来做出贡献。
