| DLA Piper announced today that it has achieved ISO 14001 certification for its 64 offices globally, which is one of the core objectives of its Sustainability Initiative, launched in January 2007.
ISO 14001 is a globally recognised standard which guides the development of an auditable environmental management system. Requirements include: establishing an environmental policy; determining the environmental impacts of key processes, activities and services; setting environmental objectives and measurable targets; implementing and operating programmes to meet objectives; and conducting regular management reviews. “As part of our commitment to move beyond basic ‘offsetting’ efforts, this milestone brings us closer to reducing our impact through an internationally accredited system that also allows the firm to hold itself accountable.” said Senator George J Mitchell, Chairman of DLA Piper. |
