Sustainability at FB Rice | FB Rice | Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys

Making a difference together

"Acting as chair for the Sustainability Committee has not only been interesting and allowed me to contribute in a positive way to the environment and FB Rice, but has afforded me the opportunity to get-to-know and interact with other staff members around the country, each of which are working together for a common purpose.”

Sarah Dixon, Partner - Trade Marks Team, Sydney

Caring for the environment

We measure our environmental impact by working with Pangolin Associates to assess greenhouse gas emissions and other impacts from business operations such as heating/cooling offices, business travel, and electricity usage for computers. We have reduced paper usage through switching to e-files and neutralised our carbon footprint.

Climate action

We're taking climate action by occupying green star rated buildings (4-6 stars), participating in Earth Hour and Ride to Work Day, providing end of trip facilities, using efficient building and lighting automation, and voluntarily offsetting our carbon footprint.

Environmental management

We actively participate in World Environment Day, a United Nations designated day celebrated annually on 5 June to raise awareness and encourage global action for the protection and preservation of the environment.

Office recycling

We are dedicated to sustainable practices, with a 100% ability to recycle in all offices, a paperlite office program, green accredited paper purchase specifications, and a commitment to only using paper certified by the PEFC Australian Forestry standard.
