Our commitment to sustainability
Norton Rose Fulbright is committed to operating sustainably and taking direct action to support United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13: Action on Climate Change. Climate action sits alongside our other strategic priorities that advance sustainable development, including diversity and inclusion and social impact. It is managed by a global Environmental Sustainability Committee reporting directly to our Global Executive Committee and Chief Executive Officer.
We measure our carbon footprint across our global operations, and based upon those findings, we will undertake a strategic review to develop a plan of action on climate change.
We recognise that, as global firm operating from multiple jurisdictions, the way in which we operate has an impact on the environment and our people, and are committed to integrating sustainability best practice into our decision-making and business activities worldwide. We also recognise that our environmental performance is important to our people, our clients, our suppliers and other stakeholders.
Our key impacts arise from waste generation, energy use including travel, and resource consumption. We are seeking to minimise these impacts through continual improvement in our environmental performance in all jurisdictions where we operate.
