Over ten years ago, Riker Danzig introduced “Riker Goes Green,” a variety of environmentally-responsible initiatives, in an effort to make a positive impact on the environment. Since that time, we have paid close attention to sustainability research and practices, actively looking for areas where we could make changes that would have a measurable impact, and have made numerous improvements to reduce the environmental impact of the firm’s operations.
Environmentally Responsible Business Practices
Since introducing our initial sustainability program, we have implemented a number of environmentally responsible business practices, including:
Responsible Procurement
Energy Efficiency
Waste Reduction
Sustainable Business Practices
Hands-On Involvement and Recognition
Riker Danzig attorneys and employees also support sustainability and the environment through community engagement and pro bono activities.
For instance, partner Jeffrey M. Beyer has demonstrated his commitment to sustainability by serving as a board member for Grow It Green Morristown, a charitable organization in our backyard that creates sustainable farms and gardens, and educates communities on healthy eating and environmental stewardship. In recognition of this commitment, Jeff and Riker Danzig received a CIANJ Environmental Leadership Award. The Firm itself also has gotten involved with the mission of Grow It Green, hosting periodic volunteer events for our employees.
In another example of our strong support for sustainable initiatives, attorneys in our Environmental Group are helping community gardens in New Jersey to develop regulatory amendments to encourage small-scale composting activities without prohibitively expensive permits. Riker Danzig is fortunate to have Sustainability, Waste Management and Renewable Energy as a focus area of our Environmental Practice. Our environmental attorneys, who inform our own sustainability efforts, are sought out speakers and authors on these topics, and are actively engaged with relevant industry groups.
Energized Commitment to Sustainability
We continually expand upon our sustainability initiatives by vetting vendors, forming relationships with sustainable companies, and educating our employees about the personal and professional benefits of going green. By working together, we hope to continue to build upon our progress and create more sustainable practices.
