Sustainability
We are committed to people and planet, resilience and responsibility
In a dynamic, interconnected world, our sustainability action has real impact for our people, clients, community, supply chains and environment.
To better guide and counsel our clients through risk and uncertainty, it is our collective responsibility to strengthen our firm and the natural, social, digital and organisational systems we are part of.
As a legal sector leader in sustainable business practices we are operating a more resilient, innovative law firm, equipped with the frameworks, capabilities and people to continue to deliver legal advice with integrity and excellence in a rapidly changing world. Investing in secure digital systems, enterprise-wide monitoring and integration of climate-related risks into management decisions, positions our firm to continue to adapt at speed and earn the trust of our people, clients and community.
Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy
Launched in June 2026, our Growth, for good strategy and initiatives will accelerate progress on our 2030 targets and commitments. Over the next four years, we are moving from a position of leadership on environmental commitments, workforce equality and community engagement, towards maturing our sustainability capability across the entire firm.
Recognising that a stable climate and healthy natural systems underpin resilient communities, economies and legal services, we are taking action to reduce emissions and waste to align with climate science and contribute to the protection of biodiversity.
Our connected approach to sustainability addresses priority impacts for our workforce and the communities where we operate. We are taking action by applying human rights due diligence, safer reporting pathways and respectful engagement with First Nations peoples, suppliers and communities, while increasing opportunities for inclusive economic participation.
