Norton Rose Fulbright’s London office was recognised at the Team London Bridge ‘A Great Place to Work’ Awards 2025 for its work on circular economy and waste.
The law firm joined forces with BM Caterers to phase out single-use plastic in the restaurant through reusable CauliBox food and drink containers. To date, this has resulted in an estimated 23,000 litres of waste and an estimated 5,500kg of CO2 saved.
BM Caterers started trialling CauliBox in August 2024 at Norton Rose Fulbright’s London office to reduce food and drink packaging waste, which saw disposable cups and hot food takeaway containers replaced with CauliBox reusables.
The site has seen more than 36,700 Cauli cups and containers ‘borrowed’ as part of the scheme, an average of more than 300 reusable cups and containers used each day.
Angus Brydon, managing director at BM Caterers, said: “This award reflects what’s possible when we work collaboratively with our clients to support the development of a more sustainable workplace.
“Phasing out single-use packaging at Norton Rose Fulbright wasn’t just about cutting waste, but more to help us encourage a behaviour shift amongst guests in our restaurant. We’re delighted to play our part in Norton Rose Fulbright achieving this award and, more importantly, with the change we’ve been able to create within the business.”
The site has also recently introduced a reward scheme ‘CauliCoins’, which rewards the use of the reusable cups and containers by offering free items such as cakes, coffees and main courses.
