There is huge scope for smaller law firms to improve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, new research has found.
It also highlighted the growing importance of law firms having policies on which clients they would and would not work for.
The analysis by impactvise, which specialises in ESG data analytics, training and consulting, found that the top 25 global law firms for ESG, almost half of them based in the UK, achieved an average score of 54 out of 100 using its system that takes into account “governance, planet, people, and prosperity”.
This compared to only 9 for the whole survey group of 1,000 global firms.
