Environmental Law Charity

Using the power of the law to protect life on Earth.

Environmental Law Charity

A world in which people and planet thrive together isn't just possible; it's essential.

We are the world’s most ambitious environmental organisation. We started with one lawyer and his laptop in 2007. Now we are over 300 people, with eight offices around the world, creating powerful change for life on Earth. Read more about our history here.

We have blocked Europe’s largest planned coal plant. We've forced governments across Europe to clean up air pollution. We pressured the world’s largest multilateral lender to withdraw funding for fossil fuels. We’ve forced big polluters to come clean about their climate impacts – and to clean up their acts. We protect essential ecosystems on which everyone depends. We prevented the destruction of Europe’s oldest forest and protected vulnerable wildlife.

We work tirelessly to ensure people can seek and access the protection they’re entitled to by law. We also support environmental legal professionals and organisations to work effectively to protect the planet. Read more about our mission and acheivements here.

Approach to inclusion

ClientEarth is an inclusive, values-driven organisation dedicated to systemic change that safeguards the earth and protects the human rights of all people. That means we actively work to eliminate bias and discrimination, using the power of the law.

We believe in a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive in order to help achieve our mission and vision for a healthier planet. We foster inclusion, respect, and kindness, and value diverse perspectives, backgrounds, identities and locations.

We have a number of Employee Resource Groups, including LGBTQ+, Global Majority, Neurodiversity, and Over 45's.

Our Board and leadership are actively committed to embodying ClientEarth's values, and we strive to maximise our impact and safeguard the environment for all current and future generations.

Flexible working at ClientEarth

We offer a flexi-time policy that allows for earlier/later start and finish times on a regular and ad-hoc basis.

We give our people the choice to decide to work from home in the country where their contract of employment is issued for 80% of their month, with the other 20% of their month being office-based.

We provide a laptop to enable home working and reimbursement of up to £300 (or local equivalent) to cover additional equipment needed to ensure that you have an ergonomically sound work space.

Staff can work from another country (for non-work reasons) for up to 30 working days per calendar year. To take advantage of this scheme staff must complete a number of declarations and be able to stay and work in the relevant country without breaching immigration rules or incurring tax or social security liability.

Some of our other benefits vary by location, so do see our careers site for more information.

What Employees like about ClientEarth

Purpose

It's really inspiring to work amongst people who are so passionate and driven about the cause. There are many channels for staff to voice their views and the leadership is genuinely committed to act on the feedback - I can see changes happening as a result. ClientEarth is also putting on a lot of effort to improve its DEI, and whilst there's still some way to go, I am sure the work will pay off over time.

Working Environment

The most flexible and value driven organisation I ever worked for

Working Environment

Throughout my short career here thus far, and even during the recruitment process, it was explained to me how flexible the working was and how staff can alter the hours and days worked, based on a contractual number of hours. It is generally up to me how and when I work these hours within a core window and I am given the autonomy to manage this.

Culture

It's a positive working environment where wellbeing is important to the management team.

Working Environment

CE offers flexible, supportive and inclusive work environment. It is a place where you can grow, choose directions for your own development and balance your personal life with work. It is an always growing and changing organization, so you will most likely not get bored of your work. At the same time, while it is a highly professional and efficient organization, it has an ngo-style work culture with a friendly atmosphere.

Culture

I like that management (including senior management) is very approachable. There a lots of possibilites to get in touch with them and they listen as well.

Working Environment

I think ClientEarth has been able to hit the 'sweet spot' for hybrid working with the 80/20 approach (up to 80% working from home in a month). This and working around the 10-4 core hours works well for me, especially with childcare commitments. I do like coming to the office for those 20% of the time as it feels good to connect with colleagues in-person. My manager is also very supportive of any additional ad-hoc requests, so I am very happy overall.

Benefits

Great company to work from, the hybrid model we have here 80% home 20% office is great. The 20% isn't forced upon us either.

This is by far the best company i have worked for generous annual leave, closed between Christmas and New Year without a deduction on your annual leave allowance. Flexible working across the board and working from abroad policy

Culture

ClientEarth has excellent work culture and allows work from abroad which is a boon for employees who move countries to different offices to work.

Working Environment

I love the fact that we have loads of flexibility with when we do our work.

Working Environment

ClientEarth has a progressive approach to flexible working, with up to 80% of our time expected to be in the office connecting with our teams and other colleagues, which can be one day a week or one week a month. This flexibility helps me plan the best place to work, for the type of work I am doing in any one day. This is supported by our IT strategy to introduce more collaboration platforms that help globally dispersed teams work together, and our offices which support hot-desking, a central kitchen area where I can talk to colleagues outside my team over lunch, and we have a lot of small meeting rooms for catch ups when in the office. The senior team model this - they are present and accessible in the office - and support individuals who request flexibility around caring responsibilities or other personal circumstances.
