Measuring our carbon emissions

We are an international law firm with over 1,500 people operating from 17 offices across three geographical regions. To understand the extent and breakdown of our own carbon footprint, we are working with experts to deliver sustainability solutions, to monitor, report, and disclose our annual global energy consumption and greenhouse emissions. 

The first aim of our low carbon environmental sustainability objective is reduce our carbon emissions as far as practically possible - through both annual global energy consumption and greenhouse emissions.

We are working hard to understand our carbon footprint across scopes 1, 2 and 3 and are achieving year-on-year data quality improvements. Using a reliable baseline, we will develop credible science-based carbon reduction targets and design achievable carbon reduction strategies to clearly define a path to reduce our emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. 

In terms of progress, we are delighted to have achieved Planet Mark Business Certification for a second year in our London office and for the first time in all our other offices in 2023.

Planet Mark is an internationally recognised certification that provides a platform for sustainable change. It supports us to measure our carbon footprint, engage our people and stakeholders, and communicate our progress with authenticity and confidence. 

We are members of the Legal Sustainability Alliance (LSA) and actively collaborate with other law firms to share sustainability advice, information and resources to support the legal community on their journey to net zero.
