The majority of lawyers think law firms should be legally required to improve their environmental sustainability, according to a poll of leading legal advisers that demonstrates how seriously the industry is taking the issue.
When asked how obligatory measures such as cutting carbon emissions and reducing plastic should be for law firms, more than 60% of 90 lawyers surveyed in the latest Big Question survey by Law.com’s U.K. division Legal Week, said the issue should be made law. Those respondents said the situation is “an incredibly important issue for all businesses”.
