The Responsible Business team has received the 'Law Firm ESG Employee Engagement Award' at the Legal ESG Awards 2025.

The Legal ESG Awards UK highlight the significant influence of legal experts in creating a responsible business landscape and challenge the profession to innovate and lead in integrating ESG principles.

Gowling WLG was recognised for the creation of a wildlife and wellbeing garden at its London office, as well as its array of nature-based volunteering activities including litter picks, team challenge days to improve canals and community green spaces and providing pro bono advice to environmental organisations.

Heidi Newbigging, Head of Responsible Business at Gowling WLG, said: "It is an incredible honour to receive the Law Firm ESG Employee Engagement Award. This recognition reflects our ethos of Responsible Business: driven by our people, dedicated to community, committed to good business.

"We believe that our dedication to Responsible Business and ESG principles not only enhances our firm's culture but also contributes positively to the broader community and the environment. I want to say thank you to all the colleagues and community partners that have played a role in these efforts and look forward to continuing our journey towards making even more meaningful impact."
