National law firm Clarke Willmott has been awarded Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation status by the Carbon Literacy Project.
The accreditation highlights the firm’s dedication to tackling climate change, reducing its organisational carbon emissions, and working towards a zero-carbon future.
Participants completed a day of expert training, gaining the knowledge and skills to reduce their personal and organisational carbon footprint through interactive exercises.
Carbon literacy is defined as an awareness of the carbon impacts of everyday activities, with the knowledge and motivation to reduce emissions at individual, community and organisational levels.
“Bronze Carbon Literate status reflects our commitment to carbon reduction and the tangible steps we’ve taken across the firm – from energy-efficient offices to renewable electricity and digital-first ways of working,” says Karen Higgins, head of ESG at Clarke Willmott.
Earlier this year, Clarke Willmott published its Carbon Reduction Plan, setting a verified Net Zero target for 2040 covering energy, travel, waste, and commuting emissions.
“Our journey to Net Zero by 2040 is underpinned by clear science-based targets, innovative office redesigns, and active engagement from our employees,” adds Karen Higgins.
“The Carbon Literacy programme is a key part of embedding this culture throughout the firm. Sustainability is central to how we operate. From reducing office emissions and adopting renewable energy to encouraging sustainable travel and digital practices, we are proud to integrate environmental considerations into every part of our business.”
