SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

We are committed to a green and sustainable workplace that uses less energy, creates less waste and promotes a culture of making a difference every day. Along with our resolution to practice law in a different way, we have stripped away traditional overheads in favour of a highly IT-based, efficient operation leading to a nearly paperless office.

PAPERLESS OFFICE

With our clients approval and when appropriate we encourage the use electronic drafting and revisions and most of our written communications are by email; scanning; fax to email, and printing to PDF. Photocopies of documents are on to two-sides of paper; research materials are in electronic form; electronic invoicing; and payment processing through paypal.

We will continue to develop other sustainable practices which today include the following:

	Recycling all recyclable materials (including office equipment) in a secure fashion.
	Limiting energy consumption by powering off all equipment outside office hours – natural and low energy lighting.
	Reusing non-confidential scrap paper, folders and envelopes.
	Purchasing supplies with high recycled content.
