Travel to meet clients
How can we as a law firm contribute to reducing CO2 emissions? Our biggest CO2 contributor is air travel. GvW – and not just since corona – has initiated various measures to minimise domestic and international flights:

If a flight cannot be avoided, we offset the carbon footprint caused by means of a donation to the “atmosfair” climate protection organisation. Clearly, emission compensation is not a “silver bullet” solution, but reducing CO2 emissions is basically a must. And if we can use our air miles to fund climate protection projects in developing countries, we make a sensible contribution.
The way to the office
Right of way for the bicycle and public transport! GvW provides everyone with a job bike through deferred compensation. And it also funds the job ticket for non-legal employees.

At the office
100% of the electricity demand at all our offices is covered by green electricity. Here, we use the Natürlich Grün, a provider which sources electricity directly from the producers, i.e. from the operators of windmills, solar farms, hydropower plants and biogas plants:

For us, corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a law firm means assuming social responsibility and acting in accordance with ecological and social values. We are convinced that we, as a law firm, can also operate in a sustainable and value-oriented manner and, in this respect, we would like to live up to our role and responsibility in society.
