Championing sustainability
At CompLaw Summer School we are committed to running an event which is both environmentally sustainable and socially responsible.
From dedicated debates on the agenda, to radical changes in the way we deliver the conference - here is a breakdown of how we are embedding sustainability in everything we do.
How are we going further?
Informa is constantly seeking to improve and expand on our sustainability initiatives.
This event is powered by renewable electricity, helping us on our journey to net zero:
