Business Case for Sustainability
A practical guide to embedding sustainability for law firms
Published by
For the last 10 years, the LSA has been tracking the progress of its members’ carbon reporting. An analysis of that cumulative data reveals some compelling evidence and trends. It demonstrates that Sustainable Business = Good Business.
For example, it shows that a 15% reduction in carbon emissions per employee over six years correlates to a cost saving of over £140 per employee.
We have used the evidence and experience of our members, their knowledge of what works and doesn’t work, as well as the wider professional expertise of The Planet MarkTM, to pull together this business case and guide. It is designed to make all aspects of sustainability more accessible to all law firms, whatever their size or specialty. It is aimed at anyone working within the sector – whether in facilities, CSR, marketing, or at partner level. It provides an introduction to sustainability, pointing the way for those starting a programme and refreshing campaigns for those already underway.
It addresses the key drivers to adopting a sustainability programme in the legal sector and the associated business benefits you can expect. The guide also contains key steps that should be undertaken to ensure your programme is a success. We’ve included supporting statistics and relevant case studies from the law firms and other professional services organisations, as well as useful resources to help you on your journey.
