LAWFUEL – The Lawyer reports that UK law firms Eversheds, Linklaters and Norton Rose are leading the UK legal profession on green issues by wholeheartedly embracing the normally low-profile UN World Environment Day today.
Allen & Overy, Clifford Chance, Denton Wilde Sapte, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Hammonds and Pinsent Masons are among a raft of firms that have shown their lack of green credentials with no acknowledgment of the day at all.
For Linklaters, the day saw the launch of the ‘Change One Thing’ six-month challenge for all its employees, with a dedicated website for its staff to make its pledges.
Partners and senior associates alike have been pledging to cycle into work, use a mug instead of throwaway cups and even taking their biodegradables to put on their home compost heaps.
