Creating a more resilient, sustainable and inclusive future together.
Committing to net zero
Since announcing our global net zero commitment in September 2020, the PwC network has set SBTi-validated near-term and long-term targets aligned with a 1.5-degree scenario. As we decarbonise our operations and supply chain while adapting to climate risks and opportunities, PwC China actively contributes to these network-wide ambitions while advancing China’s 30-60 national decarbonisation goals. We drive change by supporting clients and suppliers in their transformation journeys, actively reducing our operational footprint including scope 3 emissions, and engaging stakeholders to accelerate collective climate action.
Our network decarbonisation targets
We have committed to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the value chain by FY50.
Our near-term targets are to:
Reduce scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions by 50% from a FY19 base by FY30.
Reduce business travel absolute emissions by 50% from a FY19 base by FY30.
Transition to 100% renewable electricity across our network by FY30.
Have 50% of the network’s purchased goods and services suppliers (by emissions) set science-based targets to reduce their own climate impact by FY25.
Our long-term target is to reduce scope 1, 2 and 3 absolute emissions by 90% from a FY19 base by FY50.
PwC China’s FY25 progress
As we work to decarbonise our operations and supply chain, PwC China is adapting to climate-related risks and opportunities while supporting clients and suppliers in their transformation journeys. We actively reduce our operational footprint strategically across areas such as optimising our fleet toward electrification, enhancing energy efficiency in our offices, transitioning to renewable electricity, as well as driving behavioural change through supplier engagement and employee activities. We’re also advancing the net zero transition through collaborating with other organisations in the broader ecosystem.
