Sustainability Policy

In recognition of Lowe Stein, LLC,'s determination to provide first-rate legal services to clients while maintaining our long-term impact on the planet, we pledge to incorporate sustainable policies into our day-to-day operations and long-term strategy. Because law firms use a considerable amount of paper, we are attentive in our efforts to limit our use of paper.

How we limit our use of paper:

• All printers and copiers use 30% post-consumer recycled paper and whenever possible
• Firm notices and memos are distributed electronically
• We use electronic-only versions of many documents.
• We encourage employees to limit their use of paper documents without ever sacrificing the quality of their work.

In addition to purchasing 30% post-consumer recycled paper, we are integrating the use of office supplies made from recycled materials. We continue to reduce the use of non-paper materials by working to re-use and recycle as many products as possible, including using durable products to the maximum practical extent possible and avoiding artificial or toxic products when more natural alternatives are available.

In an effort to reduce the amount of waste produced by the firm, we have purchased mugs and glasses and encourage members of the firm to use them for refreshments in place of disposable containers. The firm has stopped serving bottled water and provides filtered water in our kitchen areas and during all catered meetings.
