Sustainability and our journey towards net zero is important to us, our people and our clients.
We have already implemented several positive measures into our operations to ensure that we are playing our part to minimise our environmental impact.
UN Global Compact
In 2021, Haseltine Lake Kempner LLP signed up to the UN Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. Since then, we’ve set in motion changes to our business operations to build the UN Global Compact and its principles into our strategy, culture and day-to-day operations.
Integrating sustainability into our businesses
Our Environmental, Social and Governance group was set up in early 2022 to focus on our commitment to responsible business. The group looks at how we actively contribute to societal and environmental wellbeing, and how we can integrate this into our everyday business operations.
Since then, our ESG group has pulled together all the environmental impact strategies across our businesses and reviewed our actions so far. Looking at our environmental footprint, the group continues to drive forward change by exploring eco-friendly practices and improvements to how we operate.
As a result, we’ve developed our environmental and social sustainability policy document. Supporting and promoting environmental responsibility, it outlines ways in which we can positively make our operations more sustainable to the planet, through the choices we make.
Our commitments and pledges have been shared with our people and, as a people-first business, we understand that bringing our colleagues on this journey with us is integral to our culture and achieving our aims.
Here are a few examples of how we’re making this happen.
