Martin Tolhurst Solicitors Launches First Firm-Wide Environmental Policy

At Martin Tolhurst Solicitors, we’re proud to announce the launch of our first firm-wide Environmental Policy - a strategic and forward-thinking step in embedding sustainability into every aspect of how we work.

This policy isn’t the start of our sustainability journey, but a significant milestone in it. For years, we’ve taken practical, conscious steps to reduce our environmental impact. This new policy brings those efforts together under a clear, structured framework and sets ambitious goals for the future.

Why This Matters

The world is changing, and so must we. As a firm, we recognise our responsibility—not just to the environment, but to our clients, colleagues, and communities. This policy represents a deeper commitment to doing business with purpose and integrity.

Key Commitments

Our Environmental Policy outlines four core goals:

✅ Progressing toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions – We are setting our sights on long-term carbon reduction and climate neutrality.

✅ Prioritising sustainability in travel, technology, and procurement – From reducing business travel emissions to choosing energy-efficient tech and working with environmentally conscious suppliers, we're rethinking how we operate.

✅ Fostering a culture of sustainability – It's not just about policies; it’s about people. We aim to create a workplace where everyday choices contribute to lasting environmental impact.

✅ Measuring and reporting with transparency – Progress is only meaningful if it's accountable. We’ll track, measure, and report our environmental performance openly and honestly.

Looking Ahead

This policy is more than a document—it’s a mindset shift. It reflects our belief that sustainability and legal excellence go hand in hand. We’re not interested in ticking boxes or following trends. We’re committed to making meaningful, measurable change.

As we continue this journey, we invite our clients, peers, and community to hold us accountable, support our efforts, and work together toward a more sustainable future.

Because doing the right thing today helps build a better tomorrow, for everyone.
