The Campaign for Greener Arbitrations is an initiative to reduce the environmental impact of international arbitrations. A dedicated Working Group began work on a set of protocols in mid-2020 and considered all aspects of international arbitration. In doing so they identified a number of areas where each stakeholder could significantly improve behaviours to reduce their environmental footprint.
Six Protocols and a Framework have been drafted addressing the various activities carried out by the arbitration community. A series of workshops will be conducted to gather stakeholder feedback. As a member of the Steering Committee, HKIAC is pleased to host the Asia-Pacific workshop.
