Maxwell Goes Green

At Maxwell Chambers, we are committed in embracing sustainable practices. From reducing energy and water consumption to implementing recycling and waste reduction programmes, we are changing our work habits and carefully choosing businesses we want to support and work with.

Maxwell Goes Green is our sustainability programme launched in April 2023.  To start our journey, we are assessing our current practices and identifying areas where we can make improvements. By setting goals and tracking our progress, we can stay accountable and identify areas for further improvement.

It takes time to create transformational change but as a company we are ready to take the necessary steps to start.

Let's talk Sustainability

Driving sustainable change, one conversation at a time. In this series, each guest is asked 1 question on making arbitrations greener. 

Launched during Singapore Convention Week 2024, “Walk and Talk” featured our first group of #MaxwellCommunity walkers connecting with one another in the beautiful open spaces of Tanjong Pagar. 

#5QuestionswithMaxwell Interviews

This interview series is dedicated to showcasing arbitrators who are leading the way in environmental sustainability. By sharing insights and tips, we aim to inspire the arbitration community to adopt greener practices.

The Campaign for Greener Arbitrations is an initiative to reduce the environmental impact of international arbitrations.  The campaign was founded by International Arbitrator, Lucy Greenwood, in 2019, with the aim of significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the arbitration community. The campaign is made up of a group of arbitration practitioners committed to achieving sustainable change in the way arbitrations are managed. The campaign promotes awareness of the environmental impact of arbitrations and produces best practice guides on ways we all can act to minimise the carbon footprint of our practice.

Hosted by the Campaign for Greener Arbitrations: The Green Pledge, this session will bring together regional stakeholders to explore the state of sustainable practices in arbitration institutions, identify areas for improvement, and discuss the next steps the Campaign can take to support institutions in their transition to more environmentally responsible operations.

Report on The Green Survey: Arbitration Institutions in Focus (2024)

In 2024, the Campaign for Greener Arbitrations (CGA) conducted The Green Survey: Arbitration Institutions in Focus to assess how arbitration institutions are adopting sustainable practices. This latest report analyzes successes, challenges, and progress toward environmental goals, offering clear guidance for institutions yet to implement sustainability and practical insights to support those overcoming challenges in advancing green initiatives.
