Sustainability at DLA Piper Australia

A variety of recycling initiatives.

DLA Piper has conducted internal reviews into its own carbon footprint and environmental policies.

The firm places a lot of important on reducing it's environmental footprint, all new members of the firm have an environmental induction. We also have printing policies in place to reduce the amount of paper and colour ink we use and have introduced e-Archiving which has substantially reduced the amount of paper we use.

The global firm has recently redoubled its focus on reducing the firm's environmental impact. This means that we are encouraged to do as little as possible in paper and opt for video conferencing when possible. The firm has committed to zero emissions by the 2030.

Firm has set a science-based target for reducing carbon emissions.

Recycling bins and initiatives.

There are various waste bins (which is great) and some products such as paper seem to be from recycled paper. The firm could do more to reduce waste and carbon footprint for example by operating at net zero emissions.

Every office has a green committee which focuses on providing new green initiatives such as a range of bins, minimising waste and using biodegradable items where possible.
