Lander & Rogers has committed to ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to achieve net-zero emission by 2030.
According to Chief Executive Partner Genevieve Collins, the board-endorsed target "seeks to reduce both direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions in our business operations and supply chains, enabling us to become the first law firm in Australia to achieve net-zero emissions using the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard".
Net zero is considered a comprehensive commitment to decarbonisation and climate change. To satisfy the Net-Zero Standard, organisations must reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) endorsed pathways that limit global temperature increases to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, and must eliminate 90% of baseline emissions before accessing carbon offsets to mitigate residual emissions.
