Leading the way
As the global economy progresses toward a low-carbon future, Deloitte is taking action to lead, enable and scale this transition. Transitioning to net-zero and a resilient, low-carbon economy is a significant undertaking with substantial challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities.
While the journey to reach net-zero by 2040 will be complex and unpredictable, Deloitte is committed to embracing these challenges and doing its part to lead meaningful action toward a sustainable future across the Deloitte network, in collaboration with clients and suppliers.
The Deloitte Net-Zero Transition Plan sets out the steps being taken across the network to turn Deloitte’s long-term net-zero ambition into action.
"The shift towards a net-zero economy is a strategic priority as we mitigate future risks, meet the expectations of our stakeholders, and support the continued prosperity of the communities we serve. Deloitte is dedicated to playing a leading role in helping drive this transition to a sustainable future."
- Joe Ucuzoglu, Deloitte Global CEO
Deloitte net-zero by 2040 commitment
Deloitte has committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by FY2040, as measured at the aggregate, network-wide level.
This commitment represents a 90% reduction in scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by FY2040 from an FY2019 baseline across direct business operations and indirect value chain. The remaining 10% of residual emissions are planned to be neutralized through investment in the permanent removal of carbon.
Deloitte’s net-zero target is credible and evidence-based, validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative. However, reaching net-zero by 2040 remains an ambitious target. Achieving this ambition will require collaboration across the Deloitte network and our value chain as Deloitte implements a substantial transformation that is reshaping where we work, how we work, and what we use to deliver our work.

As the global economy progresses toward a low‑carbon future, Deloitte is leading the way by driving meaningful progress within its own operations. Deloitte is amplifying this impact by offering industry leading sustainability services and collaborating with suppliers, nonprofits and other affiliated organizations. Transitioning to net-zero and toward a sustainable, low-carbon economy is central to long-term resilience and value creation. Deloitte’s net-zero ambition will require sustained investment—into how the Deloitte network reduces travel emissions, decarbonizes its technology infrastructure, buildings and fleet, engages suppliers, and enables culture and behavior change.

Risks, opportunities, and their impacts
The Climate Risk Report presents the most significant climate-related risks and opportunities across the Deloitte network. It identifies nine priority climate risks and opportunities based on scenario analysis across short‑, medium‑, and long‑term time horizons, considering both physical and transition risks and opportunities.
