Winston & Strawn Named a Leading Firm Taking Care of the Planet in Lamp House’s Annual Report

Winston & Strawn is proud to be recognized in Lamp House Strategy’s second annual report on responsible business activity. Now part of Chambers and Partners, Lamp House ranked Winston in the top 5% of Am Law 100 firms overall and in the top 5% of Am Law 100 firms in the Planet category. The firm was also recognized for having one of the largest year-over-year score increases.

Lamp House noted Winston’s performance in the report:

Winston & Strawn has improved its performance across all three of our pillars, though the most notable increase has been to its Planet score . . . the firm is one of five in the U.S. that we analyzed to declare a Net Zero target, which is underpinned by the firm’s Roadmap to Net Zero strategy. There are also some noticeable differentiating aspects of the firm’s People strategy: its Diversity and Inclusion Associate Sponsorship Program, which pairs associates with an Executive Committee level sponsor, has demonstrable success in elevating talent from the firm’s affinity groups into Partnership. The firm also offers one of the most generous parental leave packages of any of the U.S. firms analyzed—with 20 weeks of paid parental leave available to “moms and dads of newborns or newly adopted children, regardless of caregiver status.”

To create its report, Lamp House analyzed 215 law firms in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada on 180+ activities related to People, Planet, and Governance, with 24 activities specifically related to Planet.
