Freeths achieves B Corp accreditation

This is measured through performance, accountability, and transparency across all areas including employee benefits, charitable work, and supply chain practices.

Freeths said it is the largest UK law firm with B Corp Certification, adding that it would be working with the environmental company Planet Mark to help the firm to create a net-zero plan, and to establish interim and long term Science Based (SBTi) net-zero targets.

Chris Freeston, Head of the firm’s Banking & Finance Practice, who led the B Corp application for the firm, said: “I’m excited and hugely proud that Freeths has achieved B Corp certification. As a responsible business, it is testament to the hard work of our people and it highlights these important issues and embraces the values that are integral to our firm, our people, clients, and our communities.”
