Blue Earth Summit

Longstanding Blue Earth partner Joelson LLP has joined 1% for the Planet, pledging to donate 1% of annual fee revenue to support environmental organisations across the globe.

 

This milestone deepens Joelson’s commitment to driving purpose-led business, a mission that has been front and centre in their partnership with Blue Earth since 2024.

As lead partner of the BE100 alongside HSBC Innovation Banking, Joelson has played a pivotal role in supporting impact-driven founders and investors, helping scale businesses that are redefining what growth and good can look like. Their expert legal team has also partnered with the Blue Earth Forum and Blue Earth Summit, consistently showing up in a big way to champion entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration across the Blue Earth network.

 

A Deeper Commitment to People and Planet

A certified B Corp since 2023, Joelson’s sustainability journey runs deep. The firm partners with Ecologi, advocates for the Better Business Act, and has been recognised with Ecologi’s ‘For Our Planet’ Silver Award for measurable progress in reducing emissions and funding impactful climate projects.

Beyond environmental initiatives, Joelson also supports City Harvest as its firm charity, redistributing surplus food to tackle waste, inequality, and isolation across London.

Now, through their membership with 1% for the Planet, Joelson joins a global movement of more than 7,200 environmental partners and thousands of member businesses, who together have directed over $700 million to environmental causes since the organisation’s founding.

 

Collective Action in Motion

“We are thrilled to welcome Joelson to the 1% for the Planet network,” said Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet. “Their leadership in the UK legal sector demonstrates the power of business to drive environmental action and inspire others to do the same.”

“Joining 1% for the Planet reinforces our commitment to making a positive environmental impact,” added Phil Hails-Smith, Managing Partner at Joelson LLP. “At Joelson, we believe businesses have a responsibility beyond profit, this partnership is a natural extension of our values and aligns perfectly with our focus on Planet, People, and Profit.”

As both 1% for the Planet members and partners of Blue Earth Summit 2025, Joelson exemplifies what it means to use business as a force for good, bringing expert knowledge, real-world solutions, and purpose-driven leadership to a community united by action.
