FB Rice and the environment
FB Rice works hard to run our organisation in a way that supports a sustainable planet by using non-intrusive, high-quality, eco-friendly products and services. We are committed to assessing and evolving our eco-friendly ethos and continuously embracing new practices and products to further reduce our ecological impact. This includes ongoing measures such as:
  • Working with our partner, Pangolin Associates, to measure and monitor our greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis. www.pangolinassociates.com
  • Membership of the Australian Legal Sector Alliance (AusLSA), an industry-led association working collaboratively to promote sustainable practices across the legal sector. www.legalsectoralliance.com.au
  • Sustainable printing standards: we carefully evaluate the need for everything we print, and when we do print, we insist on recycled paper and solvent-free printing processes
  • Recycling toner cartridges
  • Preferred purchasing policy for office products made with recycled content
  • Providing collection boxes for paper at all desks across the firm
  • Implementing the use of power monitors and other technology to reduce our energy consumption including LED lights and virtualised servers
  • Using recycled paper with a high percentage of post-consumer waste whenever possible
  • Providing facilities for our people to shower after running, walking or riding into work
  • Providing bike lockers to encourage ‘emission free’ commuting
  • Offsetting carbon for our travel
