Environmental Responsibility

At JCP Solicitors our strategy is to work towards reducing our carbon footprint. We are starting to make progress and have so far:

• Set up an environmental and sustainability group that meets on a quarterly basis
• Worked with Keep Wales Tidy as our charity of the year 23/24
• Moved to a paper-light environment
• Encourage the use of an e-signature provider in all teams of the business
• Implemented recycling in all kitchen areas for tin, plastic, cardboard and food waste
• Considered the environmental impact in every decision we make
• Introduced shared mileage allowance when sharing journeys with others
• Reduced our travel impact by making more use of video conferencing
• Team members can opt to have digital business cards
• In our Swansea HQ, the largest of our offices, we have changed our fluorescent bulbs to LED lights, which has meant that the lighting system is now up to 80% more efficient. LED lighting lasts over 20 times longer than traditional bulbs meaning they won’t need to be replaced as often, reducing our carbon footprint even further

Our future plans include:

• Looking at energy saving
• Calculating our carbon usage and how we can reduce this and how to offset what we cannot control
• Investigating the use of electric cars

We know that our environmental strategy is important to all our stakeholders and that is why we are committed to making a climate pledge.
