Beaupre believes in social responsibility, giving back and making the world a better place.
Beaupre encourages its associates to invest time performing community service. Each person gets paid time off from work to perform the community service of his or her choice. Associates use this time for various school, church, and other non-profit activities.
Since 1999, Beaupre has provided pro bono assistance to the University of New Hampshire. Our company's professional counsel contributions to UNH currently exceed $200,000.

Green @ Beaupre
Beaupre has put in place a sustainable office program with realistic goals that are manageable for staff.
Beaupre volunteers created a green team called the "Green Monsters." They audit Beaupre's environmental standing, and recommend strategies to reduce waste and save energy. The Green Monsters focus on several key areas including: energy usage, paper consumption and recycling. They educate the staff on sustainable measures by sponsoring programs and sending weekly "Turning Green" e-mails with information and best practices on sustainability topics. Tips and reminders are posted throughout the office.
The Green Monsters not only educate, but also monitor company progress and enforce green standards. For example, when the team evaluated company kitchens, they quickly concluded all plastic and styrofoam cups, plates, bowls and utensils needed to go. The team found a home for these items with a local school, and then replaced them with sustainable products that can be washed and reused.
Sustainability doesn't happen overnight, but small steps have made a big difference at Beaupre.
