Home / About Bull / Sustainability and social responsibility
We all have to make a substantial effort in a world that demands environmental and societal changes. Our profession is no exception. Sustainability is a continuous process and we at Bull are committed to our environmental and social responsibilities.

We aim to lead by example

Several of our attorneys hold or have held positions in the The Norwegian Bar Association's law or disciplinary committees. Such engagements preserve our focus on due process rights, quality in legislation, and a high moral standard in the industry. We wish to attract and keep young lawyers' interest through offering networking and comptetence-building opportunities. We also engage in mentor schemes for women and have one of the industry’s largest proportion of female attorneys in our partnership.

We care about the world around us

We support Amnesty International and have done so for many years. This has created results we are very proud of. Through substantial contributions, we have been involved in female empowerment and justice, both in Norway and internationally, introduced a human rights law for businesses operating in Norway (The Transparency Act), improved the LGBTQ+ community’s rights, and investigated human rights violations during the war in Ukraine.

We have a low carbon footprint

We recycle and limit our travel activities and paper consumption. Last autumn, we moved into new offices where reuse of furniture and inventory was a crucial part of the moving project. Entra ASA, who owns our new office space, focuses on sustainability in its daily building operations. It is classified as a BREEAM-NOR Excellent and is an energy class A building. The new offices are located in the Oslo city centre, which makes it easy to get to with public transport or by cycling or walking. Our IT supplier, Intility AS, is Eco Lighthouse certified, and we CO2 compensate for all our new computers and recycle outdated IT equipment.

We help our clients with sustainability

Bull contributes to developing a professional environment that focuses on legal and strategic implications of the global demands for sustainability and a circular economy. We are specialized in environmental law, climate, waste and sustainability topics.
