We see 'sustainable business' as synomous with good business. At its heart it is about building for long-term success through business that's good for the triple bottom line: People, Planet, Profit.
The challenges and opportunities of sustainable business are now being discussed in the majority of UK boardrooms, and the legal context of these issues brings to the table an additional, ever-evolving layer of debate and challenge. Yet the role that lawyers - and the law - have to play is still relatively unexplored.
We see lawyers as having a valuable part to play in unlocking sustainable business for forward-looking organisations.
As part of our strategy to help clients manage legal services in a changing business environment we are actively working with in-house legal teams and other leading institutions to uncover the opportunities and see lawyers realise this role.
If you are interested in talking to us about any relevant issues, or in receiving updates and invites please email us at sustainablebusiness@bondpearce.com.
Corporate and commercial law touches business across the triple bottom line, from employment and corporate governance issues, to energy and waste management, to tax and financing models.
