In the face of growing sustainability concerns, Greenplaces, a comprehensive sustainability platform tailored for mid-market businesses, has become the preferred choice for law firms seeking to navigate the complex landscape of carbon reporting and emissions reduction. With an impressive 15% of the AmLaw 100 firms now relying on Greenplaces, the company has cemented its position as the undisputed leader in sustainability solutions for the legal sector.
The pressure for law firms, along with other professional services, to accurately assess and report their carbon emissions has intensified. This is driven by their crucial role within the supply chains of Fortune 500 giants. Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and AstraZeneca are increasingly demanding comprehensive emissions data from their suppliers, including legal partners, as part of their own sustainability commitments and reporting requirements.
Greenplaces’ unique approach, blending cutting-edge technology, valuable tools, and expert guidance, is proving invaluable to law firms in this era where sustainability and core business strategies are becoming inextricably intertwined. By simplifying the intricacies of sustainability reporting and reduction, Greenplaces empowers firms to confidently showcase their green credentials, meet escalating client demands, and secure essential capital for executing their sustainability strategies.
“At Greenplaces, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that law firms face in the sustainability landscape. Our clients need partners who grasp their specific business needs, not generic offerings,” explained Alex Lassiter, CEO & Founder of Greenplaces. “Our platform is carefully designed to address these specific needs, acknowledging that most firms don’t own buildings or manufacture products. Greenplaces goes beyond basic carbon accounting to empower firms to measure and report their emissions accurately. We also provide industry-specific support through peer benchmarking, roundtables, and closed-door events. This holistic approach ensures law firms can navigate their sustainability journey with insights and tools that are truly relevant to their sector.”
Greenplaces’ expertise is particularly valuable as law firms prepare for landmark regulations like the SEC’s upcoming climate disclosure rules and California’s SB 253 and 261. Goodwin, an AmLaw top 20 firm and a Greenplaces customer, speaks to the impact of this partnership. “Greenplaces is a true sustainability partner,” said Ami Morgan, Goodwin’s Director for Environmental Social and Governance. “Its platform and expertise empower us to meet client needs, stay ahead of market trends, and take significant steps toward becoming a more sustainable firm.”
As the demand for robust sustainability solutions in the legal sector continues to escalate, Greenplaces stands ready to support firms with its comprehensive platform and unmatched expertise. By partnering with Greenplaces, law firms can not only accurately measure and report their own emissions but also position themselves as trailblazers in the new era of ESG, offering cutting-edge sustainability services to their clients and meeting the exacting standards of global corporations.
