Sustainability report 2019-2020 Mexico | 34 World Environment Day We also celebrate World Environment Day. The celebration in 2019 consisted of an internal communication campaign on the theme "Air Pollution". Additionally, it provided the space for dialogue on the Zero Waste movement; Carlos Viesca, who is part of the consultancy Rinters (specialized in sustainability issues), led this talk. The celebration of 2020 took place digitally, so we sent out a statement to remind people of the importance of this day and to offer recommendations regarding the care of our environment. b. Meeting Smart As a legal services Firm, meetings are a fundamental aspect of our work culture; they are especially important in maintaining the relationship with our clients and other stakeholders. Nonetheless, we are aware of the environmental impact they entail and therefore take steps to reduce the repercussions. This module seeks to incorporate environmental sustainability into the planning of the events that we carry out as a Firm. For this reason, we have developed a guide for suppliers that will be published in FY21. This reference material includes the guidelines that must be followed to participate in a Firm event. The next step will be to set out general guidelines specifying the characteristics and considerations to be met when organizing an event. This guide will be directed to the areas and persons belonging to the Firm that usually organize both internal and external events. It will also include topics related to food, waste, energy, transportation, headquarters, materials, among others that are relevant. c. Travel Smart Aviation is one of the most polluting industries. Despite this, the professional services we offer require us to carry out recurrent business trips by plane; these are an integral and unavoidable aspect of carrying out our operations. Business air travel is our main source of emissions, so we will avoid making non-essential trips and continue to invest in the technology that allows us to hold good quality video conferences. Additionally, we will redesign meetings and events to make virtual attendance more frequent. The following table shows the carbon footprint of business travel. FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 tCO2 1,200 1,209 702 363 Variation Against Previous Year 1% -42% -48% The pandemic that has occurred during 2020 has required us to carefully evaluate the travel we have undertaken in past years; through this task, we hope to accurately determine the travel that is considered essential and necessary for the operation of the business. d. Pro Bono: Environmental Consultancy Through pro bono legal advice, we collaborated with entrepreneurs whose business model is related to products or services that have a positive impact on the environment. SARAR Transformación, Futz, Golgi Technology, Polybion, and Lup Colombia exemplify some of these collaborations. In addition to the above, we also gave a talk on Environmental Law as part of our partnership with Appleseed for Grupo Mexico's CSOs.
