Hosted by the Legal Sector Alliance and the Carbon Trust Standard, the aim of the webinar is to draw awareness to the fact that energy use is a key contributing factor to climate change and provide guidance to law firms in how to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions.

The LSA and the Carbon Trust Standard have designed the webinar session for firms of all sizes, not just those who are those affected by or are advising on the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC). The webinar is designed for solicitors and energy managers in law firms to explain the benefit of achieving the Carbon Trust Standard and deriving Early Action benefits under the CRC.

The Carbon Trust Standard is one of the most trusted and robust certifications that recognises organisations for real carbon reduction. This webinar provides an opportunity to hear from three law firms - DLA Piper, Linklaters and Keystone Law. The webinar will help law firms to understand more about the Carbon Trust Standard and the impacts of the CRC.

Alistair Mitchell, Chief Operating Officer UK, Linklaters, said:

'Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard demonstrates to our clients, prospective clients, our staff and in general, our market, that we are genuinely committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions resulting from our operations.'
