Focusing on the environment

Climate change is increasingly affecting living and working conditions around the world, making this the decade to deliver on meaningful climate action.

As a professional services company, the most significant aspects of our environmental footprint are the greenhouse gas emissions related to travel and electricity used in our locations.

Together with our broad ecosystem of clients and partners, we are driving sustainable innovation and adoption of new standards that transcend market divides. Through partnerships, practice, research and innovation, we are working to increase awareness of sustainability solutions to grow understanding of the issues and change our business to address the climate crisis.

Since beginning our environmental journey in 2007, we have saved more than 1.94 million megawatt hours of electricity, more than 1 million metric tons of CO₂ and generated more than US$258 million in energy savings.

Reducing our environmental impact is built into our Code of Business Ethics (COBE) and our core values, specifically Stewardship. These inform our Environmental Responsibility Policy, which our Environment Steering Group established in 2007 and has reviewed annually.

Accountability for our environmental strategy starts at the top and cascades to the governance bodies that oversee our environmental policy and corporate objective of fostering environmentally sustainable growth.

We agree with the industry-led Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) that enhanced disclosure of climate-related financial risks improve financial impact assessments and supports the transition to a low-carbon economy.
