____________________________________________
Deloitte’s commitment to responsible business is rooted in our Purpose – 175 years of making an impact that matters for our people, society and clients.
Our Responsible Procurement Policy transparently communicates Deloitte North & South Europe’s (NSE) environmental, social and governance (ESG) minimum requirements and additional criteria for current and prospective suppliers. These expectations are intended to ensure that all Deloitte NSE’s procurement activity helps us to meet our business needs in a manner that delivers on our WorldClimate objectives and actively contributes to tackling the broader environmental and social challenges we collectively face. Suppliers’ performance against them will inform our decision-making throughout the procurement process, where relevant to the product or service provided.

Guidance for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on setting science-based targets
As part of our net-zero by 2040 target, we committed that 67% of our suppliers by emissions will have set science-based targets by FY25.
We encourage the participation of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in our supply chain and recognise that SMEs may face constraints that make it difficult to get started with setting science-based targets.
Deloitte has therefore developed a free resource to introduce SMEs to science-based target-setting and support them to understand why we are asking our suppliers to set them and the process for doing so through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
