- Invest in meaningful carbon offsets to compensate for residual operational and value chain emission
Our GHG reduction goals have been Developed in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degrees Celsius scenario and have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Business in the Community Ireland’s Low Carbon Pledge
Business in the Community Ireland is supporting Ireland’s business sector in the transition to a low carbon economy with the Low Carbon Pledge – the first dedicated pledge generated by Irish business to set industry standards on sustainability and reduce carbon usage.
Initially launched in 2018 the pledge was enhanced in 2021. Deloitte Ireland renewed its commitment to the enhanced Pledge which asks signatory companies to commit to set science- based carbon emissions reduction targets by 2024, which must include their entire carbon footprint (Scope 1, 2 & 3) and be in line with the Paris Agreement and the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) findings.
