Shaping the Future – How the Legal Sector Can Respond to the ISO Consultation
The slides from the LSA’s event held on 13.07.2026, during which Alexis McGivern, Head of Stakeholder Engagement and a Research Fellow at Oxford Net Zero and Emily Faint, Net Zero Policy Lead, the British Standards Institution, gave a briefing session for LSA law firms to assist our network to engage and respond to the ISO consultation.
This is your opportunity to comment on a standard that is likely to be adopted internationally and could remain in place for many years. It is of vital importance that the legal sector engages now, while there’s still an opportunity to influence the final standard. For more information from ISO see here and from the BSI see here.

World Environment Day 2026
For 2026 UNEP’s global campaign has one clear message: the planet is sending urgent signals—rising seas, raging wildfires, heatwaves, melting glaciers. But there are other signals. Signals that people are working hard to protect the planet, to raise awareness and to take action to leave a liveable planet for future generations. LSA firms are part of that movement. To mark #WED2026, we call on firms to highlight what they are doing to tackle the climate and nature crises on social platforms, using the assets provided below.
