Burness Paull Graduates

?? Greener Graduate Recruitment ?? This year, we’ve made big changes to reduce emissions and waste at law fairs! By eliminating printed brochures, plastic giveaways, and tote bags, we’ve saved 2.55 tonnes of CO2e and significantly cut down on waste, bringing us closer to our Net Zero goals! By rethinking our approach to graduate recruitment, we have reduced waste, carbon emissions, and resource use, while engaging over 2,000 students. Our shift to digital materials and eco-friendly giveaways saved over 3,200 leaflets and cut carbon emissions equivalent to a return flight from Glasgow to Dubai. Small changes, big impact!
