The Environment
As a responsible business, we take our impact on the environment seriously. From decisions in the Board room, to individual actions and choices, we are making changes.
We work with Ethical Reading, which is helping organisations in Reading and their teams to do the right thing by each other, the wider community and the environment, and to thrive in the process.
We want to do business with organisations that share our values and whose attitude to sustainability and the environment aligns with ours. Our procurement process places an emphasis on the environmental policies and approaches of our suppliers.
Initiatives to reduce our impact on the environment are led by our people and we welcome their ideas for how we can improve.
Reduce
Law firms traditionally use a lot of paper, but we are challenging that by being as “paper light” as possible. We only print where necessary and where we can’t avoid printing, we do it double sided. We use electronic documents where we can and systems to allow electronic signature of documents.

Reuse
We are cutting down the amount of waste we produce, by returning unwanted stationary items to be used by others who need them.
Recycle
To increase the amount of waste we are recycling, we have food waste bins in our break out areas, and everything else is sorted and recycled. We have collection points for different types of recycling, including crisp packets and we are collecting milk bottle tops for recycling and to raise funds for Air Ambulance.
