Sustainability and ESG
Embedding sustainability in all that we do
We are unique amongst law firms in our approach to sustainability. Responsibility for sustainability is driven at executive level and is embedded as a pillar in our overall firm strategy. Sustainability and ESG is not a specialism. It's a context.
Our Sustainability Strategy team play a key role in the evolution of our business strategy. Our versatile and talented people work at the leading edge of the sustainability transition for how the legal sector supports our clients. Join us and help us create a more sustainable future.
Sustainability and ESG: Our experience
What we’ve achieved
Sustainability and resilience at our core
The Sustainability Strategy team is responsible for our international business strategy for sustainability and ESG. We also work alongside the teams responsible for our operational strategy and external sustainability reporting, and for our pro bono offering, which has a sustainability focus.
Our Sustainability Strategy team also supports the primary governance body for the wider firm sustainability strategy, the Sustainability Steering Committee, composed of 30 partners, function heads and other key senior stakeholders.
Forward thinking solutions
Our Sustainability Strategy team are at the forefront of the external sustainability landscape. We are horizon scanning, generating research, analysis and insights on what could potentially impact our clients and support the development of our service offering. We work in an ever-changing environment. Every day brings something new.
Global prospects
We are the first law firm to have been appointed the Terra Carta Seal by the Sustainable Markets Initiative, founded by His Majesty King Charles III, and we were rated no.1 for ESG by Impactvise in its inaugural review of 1000 firms world-wide. We are one of the few law firms to be in the Blue Zone in both the Climate and the Biodiversity COPs, and we’re aiming to engage with all three Rio Convention Summits in the future.
Our Sustainability Strategy team drives these partnerships. They foster thought leadership initiatives and lead the way in developing client-facing project for our service proposition.
