Professional services contribute significantly to UK and Global carbon emissions

professional service employees

The environmental impact of the UK professional service industries is relatively lower compared to sectors like manufacturing, construction, or transportation. However, professional services still contribute significantly to carbon emissions, waste, and resource consumption due to the nature of their operations, including office-based activities, travel, energy use, and procurement practices.

The Law Society of England and Wales has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.

UK’s Net Zero-Aligned Financial Centre: The UK government has announced plans to become the world’s first net-zero-aligned financial centre.

The urgency to act on climate change has never been greater, the professional service industry has a moral and legal responsibility to address the climate emergency, accelerate decarbonization and drive industry and business growth.
