Environmental & Sustainability (ESG)
As a responsible business we are committed to effectively managing our Environmental, Social and Governance activities and making a positive social impact.
Our core ESG goals are:
- To have a net positive impact on our environment
- To operate in a way that is sustainable
- To be an ethical business that proactively helps those in need
We will achieve our goals by:
- Minimising our consumption and using recyclables
- Participating in local community events and contributing to society
- Operating our business in an ethical way
We are motivated to progress along our ESG journey and have highlighted below some of the steps that we have been taking towards our goals.
B Corp
We’re in the process of becoming part of The B Corp Community. B Lab is the non-profit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
It’s an organisation that promotes businesses that have a purpose other than just to generate profit. Companies verified by B Corp must meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
We’re thrilled to become part of this community and network with other likeminded businesses. B Corp has provided us with the tools to shift behaviour and help balance profit with purpose.

Greener litigation
We are proudly part of the Greener Litigation Pledge. The Greener Litigation Pledge is a commitment to action by solicitors’ firms, barristers’ chambers and other disputes professionals. It is an initiative to reduce the environmental impact of dispute resolution which aligns with our goal as a business in working towards becoming more sustainable.
The aim of the Pledge is to change the way in which dispute resolution practitioners conduct litigation, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of litigation, arbitration and adjudication disputes in line with the objective of restricting global warming to 1.5°C as set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement and to minimise air pollution in and around our courts.
We contribute to this goal by adopting the Greener Litigation guidelines when conducting litigation, analysing our use of tech to assist in the journey to Net Zero and doing everything we can to consume less, use recyclables and lower our carbon footprint.
We are proud to support this initiative and we are committed to taking steps to reduce the environmental impact of our business.

Tree planting
In line with our commitment to contribute positively to the environment, we have enrolled on a program which will see a tree planted every time we onboard a new client. Our trees are being planted by the National Trust in areas including Buckinghamshire, Allen Banks and Herefordshire.
We view this initiative as a very positive and tangible way to mark and celebrate the growth of our business, and we are proud to be contributing to the National Trust’s vital Tree Planting Programme.
