Forward Community Programme

We're passionate about making an impact in our own back yard, but also importantly we want to be a good global citizen too.
We are the first IP firm to achieve a Platinum Medal from EcoVadis
As the world's first IP firm to attain a Platinum Medal from EcoVadis, the global sustainability ratings provider, we are proud to demonstrate our forward-looking approach through leadership in sustainability and our dedication to making a difference for our people, our clients and our planet.
This achievement coincides with the launch of Mewburn Ellis’s 2024 Sustainability Report, which outlines the strategic initiatives and substantial progress made over the past year while setting ambitious goals for the future. Highlights include surpassing £1 million in charitable contributions, certification as a Great Place to Work, and validation of the firm’s net-zero targets by the Science-Based Targets initiative.

Inclusion & Diversity
Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer appointed
Inclusion and diversity is high on the agenda for Mewburn Ellis. It’s part of our business plan and is being driven by our management board. For us, inclusion and diversity is more than just a tick-box exercise – it is ingrained in our business plan and imbedded in our culture.
Community
£1M+ donated to charity since 2020
Community is important to Mewburn Ellis. For us this means nurturing our people, helping everyone develop and contributing to the wider communities in which we operate, as well as supporting worthy causes with time and money. We donate 1% of our profits to charity each year through our Forward Community Programme Charity Fund.
Sustainability
On our way to net-zero with validated targets
The path to net-zero is a complex and multifaceted one, but is a journey we are actively taking. The goal is simple, achieve net-zero by 2050, our people want it, our clients are asking for it and the planet needs it. Playing our part in reducing our carbon use to achieve net-zero is the right thing to do.
