Sustainability at MinterEllison

Unsure on exact commitments, but our office has an environment focused group which pursues green initiatives.

Minters is environmentally conscious through it's electricity, water, paper recycling and waste management which is evidenced through the internal intranet page and encourages employees to engage in environmentalism.

The firms environmental and planning team do a lot for sustainable environmental practices and the new office is also highly sustainable.

Regular check ins on it's long term commitments to sustainability.

We have signage up in the lifts and bathrooms about reducing waste like paper towels. We have recycled, garbage and paper bins in multiple places across an office floor, our cafe only uses stainless steel reusable coffee cups. I feel that my office does it best to be conscious of sustainability, we have also converted to paperless as much as possible due to the conscious effect law firms have in paper usage.

They educate the firm on the amount of waste we produce and give us goals and a plan on how to decrease it

A lot of printing occurs in my team. Sometimes this is necessary and sometimes i think it is a result of difficulties with technology which i think there should be an effort to change.

Not something i have had much involvement with

The only initiatives i am aware of are the recycling bins and also the move to entirely electronic filing.

My company has recently converted to a paperless system, however paper is still used.

Not sure. Have not noticed any specific initiatives above the standard for an organisation of this size.

Automatic double sided printing, move to paperless office (although understandably this is a difficult transition to make)

The firm actively promotes reducing its carbon footprint.
