Ashurst are pleased to announce that the firm has been certified to the international environmental management standard (EMS): ISO 14001 in respect of its London office.

This recognises the firm’s commitment to best practice in environmental management. The Sustainability Team, which led the ISO 14001 certification project collaborated with several internal teams, client-facing sustainability specialists, and external consultants Survey and Test Ltd to create the bespoke EMS.

 Chelsea Mullavey, Director of Sustainability said:

“Ashurst is serious about its environmental stewardship. Having a certified EMS helps us demonstrate to our clients and other stakeholders that we have robust governance procedures in place to manage our environmental impacts across the business.

The EMS has already resulted in improvements in our management of environmental issues and has given us greater visibility and control over environmental impacts like waste streams. We see this certification not just as a one-time achievement but as an ongoing commitment to continual improvement.”
