Environmental Sustainable Development

In 2015 the United Nations introduced the Sustainable Development Goals. These are 17 goals which countries, companies and individuals can strive towards to create a more sustainable future.

We are thrilled to announce that we have developed a Sustainable Development Group who will initially focus on five goals which have been chosen by us all at Awdry Law. The Group will be responsible for organising, implementing and achieving targets, to improve both our work and our world. This will be a real team effort, with many across the firm eager to be involved, as well as supporting the local community and businesses.

The 17 goals are set out below, with the 5 goals we are currently working towards outlined. Each goal will then have ‘work’ and ‘world’ targets. The work targets will focus on improving our everyday work lives and have a positive impact on our employees. Our ‘world’ targets would look towards improving our communities and slightly larger scale achievements.”

Domestic Violence training will be provided to members of staff in support of the 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence campaign, which is one of our targets for gender equality.
