Reaching net zero and reducing global heating are not just issues for governments and large corporations: it requires action by every individual and every organisation, in the UK and beyond.
For that reason, the Bar Council has established a Bar Sustainability Network to support chambers, Inns and legal support organisations to act on their climate impacts today.
What is the Bar Sustainability Network?
The network is a Bar Council initiative run in conjunction with Achill Management, a sustainability consultancy with expertise working with the legal profession. The network provides a range of services and support for chambers, Inns and others to help you transition to a more sustainable way of working – saving not just carbon emissions but costs.
