Macfarlanes Sustainability

Macfarlanes is committed to the continual improvement in our environmental performance across our business operations.

We recognise that our environmental performance is the responsibility of everyone at the firm, and goes beyond compliance with relevant legislation, regulations and codes of practice on environmental matters.

Our Environmental Sub-Committee, made up of individuals from across the firm, leads the firm’s sustainable business agenda. Our firm has also been mentioned in Legal 500’s United Kingdom Green Guide 2025.

Environmental policy

In June 2020 we adopted an ambitious new environmental policy, which was updated in 2024.

The policy includes wide-ranging commitments including our own business such as carbon and waste management, and collaborating with the legal sustainability community. These commitments represent the important contribution we can make as a firm to the environment.

We are developing a set of measurable targets to track our progress towards each of our policy commitments over time.
