Bird & Bird ranked in the first edition of Legal 500 UK Green Guide

International law firm Bird & Bird has been ranked in the first edition of the Legal 500 UK Green Guide.

The guide puts a spotlight on key firms around the globe which have been able to showcase a contribution to a green transition. Firms are assessed and selected according to information provided about their recent work highlights in the broad space of sustainability-related mandates, internal sustainability-related initiatives, and information about the team and individual lawyers’ engagement with sustainability. On top of work highlights, firms are asked to give tangible examples of any internal measure to reduce their own carbon footprint and promote sustainability among the team, the business and with clients. 

Bird & Bird was praised for the breadth of its ESG approach, which spans across regulatory, product compliance, environmental and supply chain as well as finance, commercial and procurement expertise. The firm’s frequent work with disruptive digital technologies and business models was recognised as opportunity for change and innovation.

Lauren Nethercleft, sustainability manager at Bird & Bird’s London office, says: “We are delighted to be ranked in the first edition of the Legal 500 UK Green Guide. Environmental sustainability is really driving how we work at Bird & Bird, both in terms of how we manage and meet our own commitments and help our clients achieve theirs. We’re really committed to reducing our environmental impacts in line with our science-based targets commitment and the law is such a valuable tool for driving sustainability, so it’s fantastic to be recognised for the work we’re doing in this space.”

Michael Rudd, chair and co-head of the International Energy & Utilities sector group and co-ordinator of various global ESG initiatives within Bird & Bird, comments: “Our inclusion in the UK Green Guide reflects the collective efforts of our people and the trust we’ve built within our client base to help them achieve their ESG goals. ESG’s impact is now far reaching - including a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, more innovative ways for organisations to be good global citizens and innovations that are creating tangible organisational value.”
