WorldClimate

Climate change is not a choice. It's billions of them.

Mitigating the impacts of the climate crisis is a monumental task. But together, we can drive positive change. Progress is possible if we act collectively and it is vital that we all take urgent and immediate action.

To do our part to help the world achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, Deloitte has launched WorldClimate, our strategy to drive responsible climate choices within our organisation and beyond.

We recognise change starts within. Deloitte is committed to taking measurable, decisive action on climate change, empowering Deloitte professionals and engaging the broader ecosystem to create solutions that facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy.

The opportunity to create a more sustainable world is at our collective fingertips and we must all ask ourselves, “What climate action will I take today?”

Our goals

Deloitte’s near-term (2030) greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as 1.5°C-aligned, science-based targets.

Our near-term goals are to:

  • Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel 50% per FTE by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
  • Engage with our major 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 2030 goals to reduce emissions include:

  • Sourcing renewable energy for buildings where practical  
  • Deploying hybrid vehicles for Deloitte’s fleet where feasible and supported by regional infrastructure 

Deloitte’s near-term goals (2030) were validated in advance of the issuance of the SBTi Net-Zero Standard. 

Deloitte recognises we must align our climate policies, practices and actions across our organisation, by:

  • Designating an Executive Member to be responsible for climate;
  • Prioritising discussion of climate change on executive agendas;
  • Embedding climate-smart considerations into operational decisions; and
  • Continuing to report the organisation’s annual emissions externally for transparency and accountability.

By engaging and educating Deloitte professionals on climate change impacts—decisions about what they consume, use and buy—we will enable our people to make positive climate choices at home and at work, and amplify these through their personal networks.

Deloitte will collaborate with clients, alliance partners, NGOs, industry groups, suppliers and others to:

  • Increase demand for responsible products and services;
  • Remove roadblocks that get in the way of enacting change; and
  • Create innovative climate solutions at a systems and operations level.
