These resources aim to support sustainable conduct and behaviours during the litigation lifecycle.

Toolkit
This toolkit aims to help signatories to the Greener Litigation Pledge, and all members of the legal profession in England and Wales to better understand the ways in which they can implement the behaviours encouraged by the Greener Litigation Pledge in their day-to-day practice during key litigation stages. Many (if not most) of these considerations will apply equally to dispute resolution professionals outside of England and Wales.
At the outset of any matter, consider whether to draw the Greener Litigation Pledge commitments to the attention of your client, law firms representing the other parties, and any barristers, experts or other parties involved in the dispute. You may wish to use the sustainable conduct wording for pre-action, case management or directions to trial, which are all available below.

Recommended wording for sustainable conduct in litigation
Recommended sustainable conduct wording to be used at different stages of litigation: pre-action conduct, case management and pre-trial review. While the wording is intended for those conducting civil litigation in England & Wales under the Civil Procedure Rules, practitioners in other jurisdictions are encouraged to adopt an equivalent approach making such adaptations as required.
The impact of sustainable choices in litigation
To show the impact of sustainable practices such as those illustrated in the Greener Litigation Pledge, Planet Mark has calculated the carbon emissions linked to some hypothetical, but realistic, litigation scenarios, during the case management and witness evidence preparation stages.
Making court bundling more efficient and sustainable
One of the least efficient and sustainable processes in litigation in England & Wales is court bundling. This article aims to educate on best practices around court bundling, make a case for change and propose a way forward in how this process can be improved. Greener Litigation welcomes views from signatories and other stakeholders in litigation to make court bundling more sustainable.
