Bar Council Sustainability Network

25 Bedford Row is a member of the Bar Council Sustainability Network.

An initiative run in conjunction with Achill Management, a sustainability consultancy with expertise working with the legal profession. The Network provides a wide range of services and support to help the transition to a more sustainable way of working, saving not just carbon emissions but also costs.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and moving towards more sustainable ways of working and living. By reducing our carbon footprint and tackling climate change, together we hope to achieve the Bar’s aim of being carbon neutral by 2030.
