Sustainability

At EVERLEGAL we believe in big ideas.

We also believe in collaborations for creating a better future for our clients, business partners, peer law firms, and our communities. To this end, we created at our firm what we call a Sustainability direction as our way and commitment of helping achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals by acting locally. This direction also allows us to openly declare what our values are and actively reach out to like-minded businesses for cooperation.

Sustainability is a major focus for our firm and is incorporated into our strategy and action plan, which includes 3 sections:

• SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT
• SUSTAINABILITY & OUR CLIENTS (press to visit)
• SUSTAINABILITY & OUR PROJECTS (press to visit)

We have gathered a professional team for our Sustainability direction and appointed the co-managing partners - Yevheniy Deyneko and Andriy Olenyuk. They are responsible for developing this direction, and its projects, and working with clients on various sustainable development challenges.

We consider Sustainability not as a goal of a responsible business, but more like a journey we share with our clients and our communities.

The climate changes, lack of natural resources, and increasing social inequality call for solutions on the scale of the entire economic system. These issues require involvement and decisive action from the business.

EVERLEGAL is conscious of these changes. We support "green" energy and environmental initiatives, promote a healthy lifestyle, and are a bike-friendly company.

Furthermore, our team actively participates in the renewable energy and environmental sectors, where we provide our clients with legal support to develop their "green" projects.

Our commitments 

Sector activities

• We appreciate the importance of focusing on sustainable development and understand the significance of joining our efforts with others. We connect with global organizations and projects to support sustainable development and also create our initiatives, including the first platform for investments in "green" projects in Ukraine - GetMarket. For more information about the platform's activities, please follow the LINK.
• Moreover, we are focused on improving the regulatory environment in the sustainable development sector. Our team is involved in the preparation of draft laws related to sustainable development. Among the latest experience, our team was involved in developing a draft law on promoting transparency in the extractive industries in Ukraine and a draft law on banning plastic packaging.
• Our company already does waste sorting and gives it away for recycling, uses energy-efficient lamps, plants trees, reduces the amount of paper we use, and has also created our own EVERLEGAL BIKE PARK for our employees, promoting eco-friendly transport and a healthy lifestyle.
• We have the Pro Bono program to support organizations/companies/initiatives in the sustainable development sector, in which EVERLEGAL will allocate 1,000 hours a year for legal support of such projects. For more information about the program, please, follow the LINK.
