Responsible Business @Orrick

We are a California-origin firm that advises leading public companies in Tech, Energy (across all assets), Finance and Life Sciences – in California and worldwide. In making responsible decisions about how to operate our firm, we take into account the standards to which our clients are held. This includes efforts around sustainable operations.

We have established a science-aligned greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 baseline. This is consistent with a 4.2% annual linear reduction between 2020 and 2030.

We are advancing toward this target by reducing square footage per team member, implementing energy efficiency measures in connection with office buildouts, purchasing renewable energy credits and opting into green power purchase programs where feasible. Our efforts are overseen by a partner who advises our clients on responsible business regulation, governance and strategy and serves as the firm’s chief sustainability officer.
