Leading the way
As the global economy progresses toward a low-carbon future, the Deloitte network is leading the way by driving meaningful progress within its own operations. Transitioning to net-zero and a resilient, low-carbon economy is a significant undertaking with substantial challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities.
The Deloitte Network 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."
- Will Smith, Deloitte Global Chief Purpose & Sustainability Officer
The Deloitte network net-zero by 2040 commitment
The Deloitte network 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 scope1, 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 Africa will contribute to the Deloitte network achieving this target.
