Putting the Sustainable into Procurement

A Practical Guide for Law Firms

This guide tackles a major source of emissions and risk for law firms — the supply chain — offering practical steps to embed sustainability into procurement and supplier management.

Integrating ESG into procurement helps manage risk, meet stakeholder expectations, cut Scope 3 emissions, drive innovation, support ethical and diverse suppliers, and deliver value for clients and communities. Developed by over 20 firms in the Legal Sustainability Alliance’s Sustainable Procurement Working Group, the guide provides actions for beginner to advanced programmes across tendering, contracting, and data collection.

The Climate Change Legal Knowledge Hub

Climate education is crucial for law firms, who play a central role in addressing climate change and climate risk through their work at the intersection of law, policy and regulation and the advice that they give clients.

To bridge the gap between current competencies and complex challenges, The Climate Change Legal Knowledge Hub has been developed by the LSA, Legal Charter 1.5 and NZLA. The platform collates resources covering a wide range of topics, including climate change science, policy approaches, legal issues, biodiversity and sustainable business practices.
