ESG at Archor

We’re construction lawyers first and foremost – but we believe that doing our day job the right way also means looking after the planet, our people, and the communities we serve.

We can’t change the world on our own, but we can change our bit of it – so we take Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) seriously: not just as a box to tick, but as a core part of how we work every day.

Doing Our Bit for the Environment

We’re on a mission to reduce our environmental footprint:

  • Cutting Carbon Emissions – we use renewable energy where we can, reduce travel, and make our offices as energy-efficient as possible.
  • Sustainable Office Practices – less paper, less waste, and smarter recycling – small changes for a big difference.
  • Green Partnerships – we work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability.
  • Net-Zero Goals – by 2030 we aim to eliminate our direct and significantly cut indirect emissions.
  • We’re proud signatories of the Greener Litigation Pledge, pushing for more sustainable practices in the legal world.

Looking After People

ESG isn’t just about sustainability – it’s also about people. Whether it’s our team, our clients, or the wider community, we want to make a positive impact.

  • Employee Wellbeing – Work-life balance matters. That’s why we offer flexible working, great benefits including free gym membership, and same-day mental health support through MYNDUP.
  • Diversity & Inclusion – We’re building a workplace where everyone, no matter their background, feels valued and supported.
  • Giving Back – We encourage our team to get involved in local initiatives, from pro bono legal work to outreach programs.

Doing Business the Right Way

Integrity, transparency, and accountability are at the heart of everything we do. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards and make sure we’re always acting responsibly.

  • Strong Governance – We follow strict ethical guidelines and comply with all relevant regulations.
  • Managing Risks – We take ESG-related risks seriously, making sure we stay ahead of potential environmental, regulatory, and reputational challenges.
  • Tracking Our Progress – We regularly assess how we’re doing, and we’ve partnered with Alectro to get independent verification of our carbon emissions.

Always Moving Forward

ESG isn’t just a buzzword for us – it’s an ongoing journey. We’re always looking for ways to improve and make a bigger impact.

As well as offsetting our unavoidable carbon emissions and fostering consideration for ESG practices in our business, we are on the path to becoming B-Corp Certified, and are always on the lookout for ways we can do more.
