DESCRIPTION
This session will discuss three vitally important topics for law firms – and for our societies – and the role we can play individually and collectively to make a difference:
We will begin with a case study looking at how groups of law firms can come together to work collaboratively to reduce their environmental impact and what firms can do internally to achieve this goal. We will then discuss how these approaches can be applied to other sustainability goals, focusing on gender equality and access to justice.
The diverse panel will discuss practical tips to help make a difference and will welcome ideas and discussion with members of the audience.
