Environment

Murgitroyd is committed to protecting the environment and to lessen our impact on it.

We continue to reduce our Carbon Footprint and aim to become carbon neutral within the next ten years.

Murgitroyd has always been attentive to our footprint and impact on the planet and has always been committed to monitoring and reducing our use of natural resources. Our proactive Environmental Engagement team plays a key part in our Impact group to identify environmental causes we can support. Our team has successfully led initiatives which have seen us drastically reduce our use of paper, cardboard, plastic and water and electricity within our office network. Conserving energy, being intentional about how resources are used, and recycling have been key to these achievements. Initiatives led by the group have led to office wide engagement amongst all our colleagues ensuring environmental considerations are at the heart of every decision we make.

Within the legal industry, we play a highly supportive role as members of the Legal Sustainability Alliance.

Our Environmental committee members are:

• Celia Mena – IP Docketing Assistant
• Margaret Hastie – HR & Operations Manager
• Melania Padilla – Senior IP Docketing Administrator
• Anthea MacMurrey - Records Paralegal
• Bridgett Gallagher – IP Portal Assistant
• Andrew Sunderland – Senior Patent Attorney 
• Steven Suèr – Director, Patents

The team meet regularly to discuss how we will continue to foster a caring culture and attitude towards our environmental impacts in the IP industry and in everything we do at Murgitroyd.
