Taylor Wessing Sustainability

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

We believe that we have a responsibility as part of the legal sector to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. We have taken a leading role in establishing the Legal Charter 1.5, and are active members of the Legal Sustainability Alliance and the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance.

In 2023 we received a 3* rating from RSGI's GreenPrint leaderboard. RSGI compared reports and data published by 180 major law firms to identify best practice in strategy, targets and reporting, and to confirm which law firms are starting to do what they advise their clients to do on the ESG agenda. Out of 180 law firms, only 22 made it onto this leaderboard. In addition to this, we have delivered training to our lawyers and Business Services teams regarding how climate change impacts the role of solicitors. 

We have an established ESG network, with client-facing representatives from every area of our business. Their role is to help drive increased collaboration on ESG services and engage with clients on all matters relating to our responsible business performance and ESG services.
