Climate change is a pressing global challenge that impacts ecosystems, economies, and communities, requiring collaborative action across businesses, governments, and societies. As a leading global professional services firm, Deloitte recognises its vital role in driving the transition to a low-carbon future in collaboration with our people, clients, and the communities we serve. This work starts from within.  


In September 2024, Deloitte had its worldwide target of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As the SBTi sets the standard for credible corporate climate action, we are proud to have their stamp of approval, recognising that our net-zero target is consistent with the 1.5°C limit on global warming defined in the Paris Agreement. Deloitte’s ambitious target reflects our commitment to sustainable practices and our responsibility to future generations, serving as a cornerstone of our global WorldClimate strategy. 

Our WorldClimate strategy is derived from our Environment and Energy Policy. The policy outlines Deloitte Denmark’s commitment to tackling the significant environmental and energy impacts of our operations and value chain, addressing climate-related risks and opportunities, and protecting the environment. To support this, we have travel and procurement policies that reflect our climate targets and catalyse sustainable behaviour. Combined, these policies cover our approach to climate adaptation and mitigation, including our commitment to reaching net-zero by reducing emissions from our buildings, travel, and the goods and services we purchase, through educating our people and engaging with our suppliers.  

Moreover, we are committed to helping our clients do the same. By enabling them to accelerate their decarbonisation journeys, we can make an even bigger impact. That is why we continuously strive to be our clients’ preferred sustainability partner. 

Achieving net-zero by 2040 entails a fundamental transformation of our organisation and supply chain. This includes how we serve our clients, the goods and services we purchase, the technology we use to conduct our work, and the buildings in which we operate. Achieving this will require active participation from our leaders and employees, as well as cultural change, investments in new solutions, and engagement with suppliers.  

Deloitte has assembled a global Net-Zero Taskforce comprised of sustainability specialists and leaders responsible for our areas of highest emissions. The taskforce is currently developing a net-zero transition plan that details the transformation journey to help us achieve a more sustainable business model. This transition plan builds on our current WorldClimate strategy, which already drives responsible climate choices within our organisation and beyond.  

As we embrace this complex journey to net zero, we strive to demonstrate leadership in climate change mitigation and adaptation. We are also guided by the principles of a just climate transition as we engage with our people and wider affected stakeholders to shape transition policies and take measurable action together. 

Together makes progress.
