Sustainability

Sustainability at all levels

In our work as lawyers, we act responsibly and sustainably.

We want to comprehensively fulfill our social and ecological responsibility. For us, that entails social commitment, the fair treatment of our employees and business partners, as well as efforts to contribute to a balanced world worth living in for future generations.

We advise companies on sustainability reports throughout the entire supply chain.

Within our law firm, we set ourselves ecological and social goals, which we continuously monitor and develop further.

For us, sustainability in particular means:

Environmental & climate protection

The main focus is on the sustainable way in which resources are used and the initiation and optimization of resource-saving and balancing processes.

Our digitalization strategy includes optimizing IT and software. We are on the way to a more paperless office.

We are reducing our energy consumption and requirements and improving our energy efficiency by pursuing ongoing initiatives.

In terms of office equipment and office materials, we are opting for environmentally friendly or climate-neutral products. Regionality, fair trade, organic quality and recycling are decisive for us.

Work & Family

We highly value the engagement and the commitment of our employees.

Equal opportunities for all employees is a matter of course for us. It also includes comprehensive training and development opportunities.

The reconciliation of work and family life is also a lively goal that is firmly anchored in our personnel policy and supported by the entire partnership. It can be realized individually and is actively supported by everyone. We are open to flexible working models and working time arrangements, whether due to childcare, caring for relatives or the desire for more free time.

Extra-corporate activities and team events are offered regularly. Our health maintenance services range from safe, ergonomic, sustainable workplace furnishings and equipment to company medical practitioners and joint participation in fire safety and first aid courses as well as sporting events.

Social commitment

We are proud of the social commitment of our employees in non-profit organizations, associations and expert groups. Our lawyers hold management positions on advisory boards, foundations and supervisory boards.

We support charitable initiatives and associations, for example by providing pro bono legal advice.

Science

Büsing Müffelmann & Theye is committed to science.

Academic work is a basic element of our everyday legal practice. BMT actively participates in the legal discourse through publications and seminars. We see ourselves as a promoter of science.

BMT professionals are active as university professors or lecturers at various German colleges and universities.

Cultural aspects

Wherever BMT is active in Germany, we are closely interwoven with our environment and gladly exercise this obligation in multiple ways while being anchored in the respective regions. Civic commitment is a top priority for our partners.

We are proud of our larger or smaller art collections at practically all of our offices. With respect to this, we work with local galleries or curators.

Thanks to our tasks in the field of art law, something especially offered by our Berlin office, BMT has already been able to convert large art collections into charitable foundations on several occasions.
