Osborne Clarke is pleased to share it features in The Legal 500's first UK Green Guide, which highlights top law firms advising on climate change, governance and sustainability issues. The firm's UK team has been included alongside its teams in Italy and Poland.
The Legal 500's Global Green Guide is the first worldwide guide to the top law firms advising on issues around climate change, governance, and sustainability, with the editorial team picking out the leading practices and individuals in each jurisdiction, recognising a firm's contribution to 'Green Change' and ESG.
Being a responsible and ethical business and employer underpins Osborne Clarke's business strategy. The Osborne Clarke For Good framework is the firm's way of ensuring it's a good corporate citizen, a good employer and a good business.
During the COP27 climate summit earlier this week, and in collaboration with We Mean Business Coalition and The B Team and more than 200 businesses, the firm signed up to a business statement pledging to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C.
The firm also launched its first Decarbonisation Week with a series of events targeted at international businesses with ambitious carbon reduction goals. It recently sponsored the 2022 World EV Day – a global campaign established to accelerate the transition to zero emission electric vehicles around the world.
It joined Business in the Community's (BITC) 'Making Work Work' campaign in the UK. BITC is the largest and longest established business-led network dedicated to responsible business, founded 40 years ago by King Charles when he was the Prince of Wales. Osborne Clarke is also one of 60 signatory companies on the Greener Litigation Pledge, committing to reduce the environmental impact of its UK Disputes and Risk Practice Group.
