Environmental working group

John Blain, a partner in our environment, planning and regulatory practice, leads our environmental working group, with the aim of ensuring we meet our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment.

The group also works with the partners responsible for our corporate social responsibility strategy across our network of offices and the green teams we have established in our offices and practice groups, as well as The CarbonNeutral Company. The working group includes:

• Stacey Collins, health, safety and environment officer;
• Crispin Hain-Cole, partnership secretary;
• David Hamilton, IT director;
• Tim Jones, partner and chairman, London management group;
• Giedre Kaminskaite-Salters and Alistair Southern, associates in our environmental practice group; and
• Bea Malleson, head of corporate social responsibility.

The group responds to all the suggestions about environmental improvements we receive from the people who work here. We received around 200 suggestions following the announcement that we were committed to being CarbonNeutral® these have helped inform the action plans developed with the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management for our offices.
