Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland's carbon emissions performance shows a downward trend, with total emissions decreasing from approximately 45.1 million kg CO2e in 2019 to about 22.2 million kg CO2e in 2024. This represents a significant reduction over the period.

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 22,233,000 kg CO2e. This breaks down into:

• Scope 1: Approximately 695,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 2 (market-based): Approximately 429,000 kg CO2e
• Scope 3: Approximately 21,109,000 kg CO2e

Scope 3 emissions continue to be the largest contributor, with business travel accounting for about 3,153,000 kg CO2e and employee commutes for approximately 2,354,000 kg CO2e in 2024.

Eversheds Sutherland has set ambitious climate commitments. The firm aims to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Furthermore, they are committed to reducing their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025.

A near-term target is to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2018/2019 baseline, projecting emissions to decrease to 3,726 tonnes CO2e by 2030.

Additionally, Eversheds Sutherland (Ireland) LLP has committed through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2018 base year, and to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions. These targets are considered consistent with keeping warming to 1.5°C.
