The law firm is the latest signatory to Business in the Community NI’s climate action pledge, designed to encourage organisations to commit to reducing their carbon emissions.

The pledge is one of several recent measures taken by Wilson Nesbitt to embed sustainability and environmentally friendly practices into its business operations, having launched a new environmental, sustainability and net zero plan as well as setting up a dedicated sustainability steering group.

In addition, four of the firm’s employees have recently received carbon literacy training as part of BITC NI’s climate action programme, which was facilitated and funded by the Law Society of Northern Ireland.

Adele Summers, chief operating officer at Wilson Nesbitt, said: “Signing the climate action pledge has enabled us to set an ambitious yet achievable target towards significantly reducing our emissions and develop a clear understanding of our carbon footprint as an organisation.

“We are grateful to the Law Society of Northern Ireland for facilitating our participation in the climate action programme and to BITC NI, whose training and support has been invaluable in helping us to understand our impact and develop our sustainability strategy.

“We are very excited to take this significant step forward towards becoming a greener business and would strongly encourage other organisations to consider signing the climate action pledge.”
