SDG 13: CLIMATE ACTION
Climate change is one of today's most pressing issues. Urgent
action is needed to help reduce CO2 emissions. At Baker
McKenzie, we are aware of our responsibility with respect to this
problem, therefore, we carry out actions that allow us to reduce
the environmental impact caused by our operations.
"Using the Earth Day to raise awareness among the
Baker McKenzie community that our daily actions really
do have an impact on the balance of the planet's
ecosystems, allowing us to encourage institutional
responsibility to avoid those that damage them,
is a great satisfaction."

This module proposes effective processes to manage carbon; its
intention is to reduce the environmental impact of our business
activities.
Carbon Offsets
Since 2017, in collaboration with MEXICO2 (the environmental
markets platform of the Mexican Stock Exchange), we have
been neutralizing the CO2 emissions caused by our internal and
external events. During this period, we have offset 24,707 tons of
CO2, by acquiring carbon offsets from the Fresh Breeze project (a
forestry project implemented in Chiapas, Nayarit, and Tabasco).

Baker McKenzie celebrates Earth Day on a global level; this
commemoration is organized since 2018 and has the purpose of
generating awareness, among collaborators about the importance
of including actions to reduce the environmental impact.
In Mexico, we joined this global effort from the beginning. To this
end, we screened a documentary on the environment in each of
our offices. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we extended
the invitation to our collaborators to watch the documentary at
home. Afterwards, we organized a virtual session to exchange
comments and experiences.
