Understanding your position in the legal supply chain – why should barristers and chambers measure and report their carbon emissions?

Understanding your position in the legal supply chain – why should barristers and chambers measure and report their carbon emissions?

Legal counsel are a crucial part of the legal supply chain. As the pressure increases on private practice to measure and report across their scope 3, every supplier needs to be able to measure and report on their contribution to a firm’s footprint. This includes barristers in receipt of instructions from law firms.

The Bar Council, the LSA and Clyde & Co are delighted to invite you to join us for a discussion workshop on what this means for chambers.

We will cover:

  • Why measure? Why does it matter?
  • What to measure? Understanding scope 3 and the GHG protocol
  • How to approach measurement and management of emissions and the role of the Bar Sustainability Network
  • Reducing your emissions – taking action

Speakers include:

Estelle Dehon KC – Cornerstone Barristers

Patrick Linighan – Chief Sustainability Officer, Clyde & Co

Paul O’Sullivan – Senior Global Procurement Manager, Clyde & Co

Amanda Carpenter – Director, LSA Secretariat

Location: Clyde and Co, The St Botolph Building, 138 Houndsditch, London EC3

Competition Markets Authority Event on Green Agreements

As a member of the LSA, you are invited to a virtual event focused on the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidance on Green Agreements, organised by the Law Society.

The guidance explains how competition law applies to environmental sustainability agreements between firms operating at the same level of the supply chain, to help them act on climate change and environmental sustainability.

As big businesses are increasingly setting net zero targets and engaging in sector collaboration, the guidance gives firms greater clarity about agreements addressing environmental sustainability, including climate change.

This event aims to help law firms understand how they and their clients can collaborate on environmental sustainability goals with other businesses or competitors whilst ensuring competition law is adhered to. These laws ensure effective competition that enables innovation, to the benefit of people, businesses and the wider UK economy.

Speakers from the CMA will provide an overview of the guidance so that you can best advise your clients. This will be followed by a wider discussion and Q&A session to gain additional insight from CMA representatives.

If you are able to join us, please RSVP by completing this form after which a diary placeholder and joining link shall be sent to you. Should you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact [email protected] or Camilla Haycock at [email protected]
