Sustainability

As a preeminent commercial law firm, Flaster/Greenberg PC takes seriously our commitment of corporate leadership and citizenship. In addition to supporting the businesses and local organizations in the communities where we live and work, Flaster/Greenberg is also dedicated to doing all we can to make sure that, as a firm, we tread as gently upon the earth as possible.

Flaster/Greenberg is a partner in the American Bar Association (ABA) Law Firm Climate Challenge. In addition, we are extremely pleased to be rated as “Gold” members of the Greater Philadelphia Green Business Program. Participation in programs such as these has been rewarding and beneficial on a number of levels—but we are ambitious to do more.
 
To help soften our environmental footprint, we have implemented green and earth-friendly practices throughout our five office locations to reduce paper and energy waste. To the extent possible, we strive to minimize environmental impact throughout the supply chain, through purchase and use of energy-saving equipment and appliances; use of non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products; and use of eco-friendly materials such as low-VOC paint and products produced from sustainable sources, in renovations and maintenance.

We encourage attorneys and staff to adopt sustainable practices outside of work and at home. In our quarterly newsletter, FG Goes Green, we help to inform and educate the firm about simple steps that can reduce waste and save money and energy. We also welcome tips that can be shared throughout the firm via the newsletter, to keep awareness high.

Future projects include continuing toward a paperless filing system; swapping out equipment for energy-efficient replacements, and investigating other ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.
