Law firm Aberdein Considine has achieved a silver medal from global sustainability ratings provider EcoVadis, placing the firm in the top 15% of companies assessed worldwide.<\/p>\n
It marks a significant milestone for the firm just over a year since it made the transition from traditional partnership to Limited Liability Partnership in June.<\/p>\n
EcoVadis\u00a0assesses 150,000 businesses globally, evaluating the sustainability practices of their supply chains. Ratings are awarded in recognition of a company\u2019s performance across a range of key ESG areas, including environmental responsibility, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.<\/p>\n
Aberdein Considine scored particularly highly in the ethics assessment, with the ratings scorecard recognising the firm\u2019s robust ethics and compliance framework, policies and dedicated ethics responsibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
EcoVadis also highlighted the law firm\u2019s strong environmental framework, encompassing comprehensive environmental policies and dedicated environmental governance and review mechanisms. Positive actions such as energy conservation training, energy\/carbon audits and energy efficiency initiatives were also recognised.<\/p>\n
Nick Tinning, IT director at Aberdein Considine, oversaw the firm\u2019s submission to EcoVadis. He said: the silver rating was a \u201ctestament to the commitment and vision of our leadership team and colleagues. This outcome is the result of a collaborative effort involving multiple departments, including a full carbon footprint analysis and ESG assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThe process has given us a clear understanding of our current sustainability performance and establishes a baseline from which we can measure future progress on reducing our carbon emissions and working towards Net Zero.<\/p>\n
\u201cWork is already under way to take forward EcoVadis\u2019s recommendations so that we can enhance our ESG performance ahead of our next assessment in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
EcoVadis noted that \u201cthe scorecard reflects a well-established and mature sustainability programme with clear opportunities to reach higher EcoVadis performance levels in future assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n
