Why Law Firms Should Apply to be B Corps
Environmental, social, and governance considerations are increasingly important for law firms.
More law firms than ever are considering how to be environmentally and socially responsible, but few take the next step into B Corp certification.
- Only 36 law firms, including SA Law, have achieved B Corp certification out of 3,467 certified companies in the UK.
Certified B Corps meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, considering the impact of their decisions on workers, clients, suppliers, community, and the environment.
Rather than focusing solely on profit, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on workers, clients, suppliers, community and the environment.
It is unclear why law firms are not applying to become B Corps.
Author summary: Law firms should consider B Corp certification for social responsibility.
