Environmental Responsibility: Environmental responsibility is increasingly important to the firm and to our clients. Accordingly, Clark Wilson has developed a Green Program to ensure that firm operations, decisions and activities are undertaken in an environmentally responsible manner, with a focus on carbon neutrality, waste reduction and energy conservation. Several improvements have already been implemented, and our internal “Green Team” continues to monitor our progress, identify areas for improvement, and develop and implement more sustainable business practices.
