As the nation’s leading environmental law organization, our\u00a0operations are grounded in the same values that guide our legal work.<\/p>\n\t
With over 600 employees in 15 offices nationwide<\/a>, Earthjustice strives to ensure that how and where we work – across offices, communities, remote locations, and courtrooms – demonstrate our commitment to justice and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n We aim to set a high bar for sustainable practices within the nonprofit and legal sectors by focusing on three core\u00a0areas:<\/p>\n\t We’ve been making smart, sustainable choices for years. From using non-toxic, sustainable products in daily operations to low-waste events, our past efforts laid the groundwork for deeper climate action. Now, we’re sharpening our focus on reducing emissions.<\/strong> We’re taking practical steps to lower emissions in the areas where we can make the biggest difference – travel, energy, commuting, events, and what we buy. Our approach is strategic, rooted in science and data, and guided by our values<\/p>\n\t We are choosing energy-efficient office spaces and working with landlords to improve building performance and increase renewable energy.<\/p>\n\t By offering flexible remote work options and encouraging low-emissions commuting, we reduce the carbon footprint of our daily operations.<\/p>\n\t We’re rethinking how and why we travel – prioritizing lower-emissions modes of transportation, choosing venues with sustainability commitments, and supporting virtual participation when possible.<\/p>\n\t We design meetings and retreats to minimize travel, reduce waste, and source food and materials sustainably.<\/p>\n\t We plan to implement sustainable procurement practices, focusing on services and products that reduce emissions and are environmentally responsible.<\/p>\n\t We’re looking closely at how we manage our mailings to reduce the environmental impact while still connecting with our donors.<\/p>\n\t Sustainability is an evolving journey that touches every part of our work.<\/p>\n\t We’re committed to engaging staff, improving practices, and scaling solutions that align with our mission and reduce our climate impact.<\/p>\n Our practices are shaped by our values, informed by science, and led by a commitment to justice. Every decision we make is an opportunity to align our operations with the future we’re fighting for. <\/em><\/p>\n\t Ready to help make a\u00a0difference?<\/p>\n Visit our Action Center<\/a> to sign up for action alerts or make an investment in our planet’s future.<\/p>\nGet Involved<\/a>\n\t\nWe’ve been doing things sustainably for a long time.<\/h2>\n\t
