In addition to our Climate Active certification we are also members of the Australian Legal Sector Alliance (AusLSA) and participate in regular AusLSA roundtables sharing best practice and insights relevant to our industry. We continue to report annually on the major activities we take toward the reduction of carbon emissions. AusLSA's mission is to work collaboratively to promote sustainable practices across the legal sector. MinterEllison has continued to strive to reduce, recycle, and reuse during the years under review.

We are committed to assessing the environmental, social and economic impacts of our purchasing decisions. In doing so, we seek to purchase products that:

• minimise greenhouse gas emissions
• maximise sustainability
• utilise recycled content in production
• are recyclable at life end
• minimise the use of water
• minimise toxicity
• are sourced from producers and/or suppliers with a proven record of environmental management and product stewardship.

We also seek to work with suppliers who:

• are committed to reducing the risk of modern slavery within their supply chain
• offer Fair Trade products
• share our commitment to creating social benefits from unused or decommissioned products
• support social enterprises and First Nations businesses.
