With the appointment of our Sustainability Officer in 2021 and the establishment of a Sustainability Board in 2022, AIJA has taken significant steps towards coordinating a collective effort for a more sustainable future in the legal world.
AIJA is continuously enhancing its commitment to sustainability by actively implementing various initiatives, taking concrete actions, and making more sustainable choices across all its activities. As a result, sustainability will increasingly be a crucial consideration in the planning and organisation of upcoming events.
To achieve this goal, AIJA aims to incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals into its events and has, therefore, developed a comprehensive guide called the 'AIJA Sustainability Grid' for Organising Committees. This guide will serve as a reference when submitting event applications and, if selected, throughout the event organisation process.
The parameters outlined in the Sustainability Grid are designed to have an immediate impact while remaining flexible enough to accommodate the global scope of our Association and to respect the diversity that characterises different countries.
Beyond the organisation of events, AIJA works strenuously to provide its members with learning and research opportunities in the fields of Sustainability Law and ESG, both through direct initiatives and strategic partnerships with highly reputed organisations.
