Operating Sustainably
We recognize that operating sustainably
is core to being a responsible business.
How we choose to operate impacts future
generations and we must play our part in
protecting our people and our planet. As part
of our commitment to operate sustainably, we
are a signatory to UN Business Ambition
for 1.5°C and Race to Zero, which commit
us to develop and implement Science Based
Targets to reduce our carbon emissions, and
become net zero. Our commitments are
backed by adherence to the robust CDP
reporting framework, and the broader
Ecovadis ratings. We are also founder
members of the Legal Sustainability Alliance,
and the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance.
Community investment
Our community investment program
is focused on creating partnerships
and collaborating with others to
create thriving local communities.
Hogan Lovells
as a responsible
business
We develop strategic partnerships with
ground-breaking and innovative organizations
to support them to successfully deliver their
goals and scale their impact. Our five
strategic themes guide our actions, which
are under-pinned by an emphasis on UN
Sustainable Development Goal 17 –
Partnerships for the Goals.
Our people use their professional skills
to offer support where there are gaps in
knowledge, resources, and funding. Our
local work supports our global aim to drive
inclusive and sustainable development in
which people and planet thrive.
Pro Bono
We consistently challenge ourselves to
focus our time, skills, and resources to
create a world-leading pro bono practice.
Focusing on access to justice and the rule of
law, we have a long tradition of supporting
ground-breaking social developments. As
lawyers we recognize this commitment is part
of our professional practice and collectively,
we spend 150,000+ pro bono hours per year
on work to achieve lasting impact for others.
The strength of our pro bono practice lies in
our commitment to strategic litigation to
bring about systematic change, which is
complemented by ensuring we engage our
commercial expertise to advise brave and
pioneering individuals and nonprofits.
Through our HL Business and
Sustainable Enterprise practice we act
for innovators and entrepreneurs in the
impact economy.
