We recognize that one impact which affects all our stakeholders is the one to our planet’s ecosystems. To do our part, Deloitte has launched WorldClimate, our strategy to drive responsible climate choices and positive change within our organization and beyond. In Czech Republic and Slovakia, we see these goals as an opportunity to continue improving ourselves and our services with even greater impact.
Every day at Deloitte, we look to make an impact that matters to our practitioners, our communities, and the clients that we serve.

Net-zero with 2040 goals
Deloitte’s near-term (2040) greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as 1.5°C-aligned, science-based targets. Deloitte has also committed to set long-term emissions reduction targets using the SBTi’s Net Zero Standard.
Our near-term goals are to:
Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 70% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel 50% per FTE by 2040 from a 2019 base year.
Engage with our suppliers with the goal of having 67% (by emissions) set science-based targets by 2025.
Invest in meaningful market solutions for emissions we cannot eliminate.
Our additional 2040 goals to reduce emissions include:
Sourcing 100% renewable energy for our buildings
Converting 100% of our fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles
Deloitte’s near-term goals (2040) were validated in advance of the issuance of the SBTi Net-Zero Standard. Deloitte’s next step will be to set long-term emissions reduction targets following the SBTi standard to continue playing our part in achieving a net-zero world.
Deloitte places great emphasis on sustainability, climate protection, and environmental care. To activate our efforts and empower communities for change, we cooperate with entities that share the same ambition.
Deloitte therefore launched a long-term partnership with Nadace Partnerství at the beginning of February 2023. The latter is an environmental foundation that distributes grants and offers professional and educational services both in the environmental field and in terms of caring for sustainable development.
We participate in two major initiatives - Planting the Future and Adapterra Awards - building a strong network of change-makers, motivating our colleagues for volunteering, and engaging our professionals to share their expertise for a greener future.
