Environmental Responsibilities
Each of our 18 offices operates an environmental awareness and responsibility programme.
Measures adopted include:
- Energy reviews to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions
- Waste management strategies to promote waste minimisation and recycling
- Increased sustainable product sourcing
- Technological alternatives to travel
We work with our suppliers and contractors to ensure they meet our commitment to environmental awareness and responsibility.

Reading Scheme
In the London office, trainees and associates regularly participate in a weekly reading scheme at a local primary school. A strong relationship has been built up with the school over recent years, and the scheme has proved a very worthwhile commitment for those involved.
