Taylor Wessing Sustainability

Taylor Wessing is progressing towards net zero and has committed to having a near-term science-based target. 

We believe there is an urgent need to address global warming in accordance with the Paris Agreement on climate change. The climate and biodiversity crises present risks and opportunities to businesses. The legal sector has a key role in supporting businesses through that transition, and we are committed to playing our part in our firm and in the advice we provide to our clients. 

Our Executive Board has committed to having a science-based target and reducing our carbon footprint. Setting and verifying a target with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a key priority for us. We align with the UK’s ambition to be Net Zero by 2050.

The Sustainable Recruitment Alliance: 

We have a duty to protect our planet and the responsibility to preserve the environment for the early talent we recruit. That is why we have been proud signatories of the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance since its inception. Our focus is to be mindful during early careers processes to reduce the amount of merchandise, travel, food, and onboarding materials that are used and wasted. We also prioritise ethics – ensuring we are working with suppliers that protect people involved in our supply chain, as well as the environment.
