Recent Initiatives
We continue to pursue a number of sustainability initiatives, including those related to tracking and managing our carbon footprint. With the use of verified carbon data and a formalized Environmental Management System, our goal is to make Willkie an even smarter and more efficient organization.
Other initiatives include sponsoring five urban beehives on the rooftops of, or near our offices in New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, and establishing a Willkie-sponsored beehive at a children’s hospital in London. We also have an established Environmental Analyst internship program. To date, fifteen students from both U.S. and UK colleges and universities majoring in Environmental Studies and related subjects have taken part. Willkie Green continues to champion engagement and awareness by running a Guest Speaker series, office-based sustainability initiatives and environmental workshops for Willkie personnel.
