Alsuwaidi & Company is pleased to announce that we have joined the Greener Arbitration Pledge, furthering our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This initiative reflects our dedication to adopting responsible and sustainable practices across our arbitration work and wider operations.
The Greener Arbitration Pledge promotes concrete steps to reduce the environmental impact of arbitration processes, aligning with global efforts to create more sustainable legal practices. By becoming signatories, we join an international network of organisations striving to lead by example in reducing their environmental footprint.
Mohammed Alsuwaidi, Managing Partner of Alsuwaidi & Company, commented:
“Signing the Greener Arbitration Pledge demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and reflects our approach to integrating ESG into every facet of our firm’s operations. This step builds on our tradition of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism while advancing responsible practices.”
Going Beyond the Pledge
Joining the pledge is one aspect of Alsuwaidi & Company’s broader ESG framework. Across the firm, we are taking steps to promote sustainability and social responsibility:
- Eco-Conscious Operations: We are actively reducing paper usage, optimising digital workflows, and implementing energy-efficient practices in our offices.
- Staff Wellbeing: Through initiatives such as in-office personal training and health-focused programs led by our Managing Partner, we are fostering a healthier, more engaged workplace.
- Community Engagement: Our pro bono work supports social initiatives that align with our values, ensuring access to justice and advancing the public good.
- Knowledge Sharing: By encouraging thought leadership on ESG topics within the legal sector, we are helping to create awareness and drive change.
These efforts reflect our philosophy that ESG is not a standalone objective but a core part of how we operate as a responsible, forward-looking law firm.
We remain committed to leading by example in integrating ESG principles into our legal work and business practices. If you would like to learn more about our initiatives or discuss how we can support your ESG goals, please contact us at clientrelations@alsuwaidi.ae.
