Law Society joins firms in setting net zero target

Law Society merged a growing list of legal organizations to search for carbon emission-based companies and reduce carbon emissions. The Chancery Lane body has made it a goal to be net zero by 2030. The aim is to execute identical actions as Osborne Clarke, Eversheds Sutherland, TLT, Pinsent Masons, and Burges Salmon to reach net zero.

This April the Law Society has published several pieces of guidance on climate change on solicitors. In the guidance, they said that they refuse those clients whose businesses or companies affect climate change, to complete the net zero target.

Law Society president Nick Emmerson said

“It is important that as well as providing guidance for the profession, the Law Society demonstrates what we are doing to reduce carbon emissions in our own operations. We are setting this ambitious net zero target despite Chancery Lane being a listed building”.

He also said in the speech of releasing the guidance of net zero,

“We have already begun to drive down energy usage across the business and the net zero target will be at the heart of all our decision-making. We get all our electricity directly from verified renewable sources via a power purchase agreement and are exploring further innovative options to retrofit the building to reduce carbon emissions”.
