LEAF proactively addresses ways our firm can deliver positive environmental outcomes for McR and our clients, endorsing processes and establishing metrics to track progress and educating staff to ensure engagement and awareness of initiatives. We are proud of our achievements to date, significantly reducing our emissions across our offices, but continue to challenge ourselves and everything we do. In our recent Brisbane and current Sydney premises projects we are embedding new ways of working and delivering legal services learnt during and since the pandemic e.g. electronic document signing, online meetings and webinars to reduce travel, online court hearings, PEXA online conveyancing, electronic payments, and electronic matter management.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”77165″ img_size=”large” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1681276603417{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1509066151101{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#8e9300″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1681277088794{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”3/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1509066151101{padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
The Michael Roche Scholarship
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
In honour of the late Michael Roche, colleague and dear friend of the McCullough Robertson family, through our partnership with Queensland University of Technology, we have committed $100,000 to establish and support the Michael Roche Scholarship.
This scholarship is not only an opportunity to pay tribute to, and remember, the late Michael Roche and his contributions to both McCullough Robertson and the Queensland resources industry more broadly, but this scholarship also aims to help further recipients’ knowledge, and significantly boost their contribution to innovation within the resources and renewables industries, in the areas of environment, sustainability or climate change.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Read more” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#8e9300″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#8e9300″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qut.edu.au%2Fnews%3Fid%3D181049|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1681277183885{margin-right: 50px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”74827″ img_size=”large” alignment=”right”][vc_single_image image=”74848″ img_size=”large” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
