Green and sustainable development has become a global focus, and promotes the synergy of economic development, social progress and environmental protection. Green and sustainable development is also an inevitable choice for human survival and development. With increasingly serious environmental problems around the world, we must take active measures to reduce the damage and pollution to the environment, so as to improve the quality of life and promote the sustainable development of the economy and society.

The Legal 500 recently published its Asia Pacific Green Guide. JunHe has made the list for two consecutive years for its outstanding contributions to green and sustainable development and ESG practices.

JunHe is committed to its own “Green Guide”. The firm established the first carbon neutrality fund sponsored by a law firm in China with the Beijing Afforestation Foundation. It is also the first zero-carbon law firm certified by an authoritative certification body in China after the announcement of the “dual carbon” goals. In addition, JunHe has actively participated in environmental protection and public welfare activities such as the global event of Earth Hour, the “JunHe Forest” tree planting, and green transportation.

JunHe is a trailblazer in China’s legal profession to keep up with global ESG trends. Since 2022, the firm has involved its partners in ESG research, set up an ESG practice team, and conducted ESG due diligence. It has also improved its internal management of international ESG standards and regulations, deepened the institutionalization of ESG policies, enhanced firm-wide ESG training, and provided a full range of ESG-related legal services to companies in different industries. JunHe is not only an ESG pioneer in China’s legal sector, but also a road builder in ESG undertakings.

Mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development have been deeply integrated into the culture of JunHe. JunHe attaches great importance to its social responsibilities in green and sustainable development and will continue to exert all efforts to the cause.
