Morrison Foerster Sustainability

Find out more about Morrison Foerster's sustainability plans below!

Morrison Foerster is a founding member of Lawyers for a Sustainable Economy and has dedicated millions of dollars in pro bono legal services to this organization. Additionally, in 2023, Morrison Foerster announced its partnership with A4ID Sustainable Development Goal Legal Initiative Platform, which addresses Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action, via a Legal Guide. This Legal Guide covers how legal professionals can increase their expertise with respect to climate-related topics, play a role in addressing climate justice, advise their clients with respect to climate change, and advance measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to climate change. 

From an operational perspective, Morrison Foerster has also committed to addressing climate change through meaningful action. In 2024, the Firm’s near-term science-based target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 46.55% by 2030 from a 2019 base year was officially validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). To support this goal, we are implementing firmwide strategies to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions from business travel, and collect supplier-specific data. To further reduce the Firm’s Scope 2 emissions, Morrison Foerster procured 100% renewable electricity for its U.S. offices in 2025 and is committed to maintaining this achievement annually. The Firm is also exploring opportunities to extend this progress to key international offices in Europe and Asia.
