Herbet Smith used the One Planet Living framework to measure its environmental impact, and the results highlighted the huge impact of international travel and significant impact of food. A workshop with staff was a lively way to turn the problems into actions to reduce environmental impact. The main actions were resolving the international working culture by optimising and reducing travel, creating the management systems needed to get the One Planet Action Plan working, and introducing a sustainable procurement policy.
