Understanding risk and opportunities
ESG: A bridge to action
Goodbye, theory. Hello, action.
To create value through ESG (environmental, social, and governance), we must set aside passive theory and develop a tangible and practical plan that your business can act on. Success is not about financials, disclosures, climate change or diversity alone. It’s about embedding all of these principles – and more – into your strategy and operations to know you’re prepared for tomorrow’s reality, whatever it may be.
How do you get there from here? Step forward.
Watch: ESG can be a window into your company's future, connecting business priorities to societal impact.

Sustainability strategy and operations
Sustainability can be your growth engine. Sustainability can drive business value when embedded throughout a company’s strategy, operations and culture. PwC can help define and deliver your decarbonization strategies, manage capital allocation, navigate the energy transition to reduce energy demands, mitigate physical and financial risks through climate risk modeling and build supply chains that can create product sustainability, all while improving operational resilience.
Understanding how climate-related risks and opportunities can impact strategy — both current challenges and future uncertainties — enables companies to safeguard value at risk and enhance performance and quality to spur growth.
ESG reporting and independent assurance
Enhance reporting and independent assurance processes. Whether it’s voluntary or regulatory driven, reporting on sustainability metrics can build trust with investors, regulators and other stakeholders. We use our deep regulatory experience to guide companies through complex disclosure requirements such as the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (and the EU Omnibus proposal) and California’s climate disclosure requirements. Plus, the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules, which are currently undergoing legal challenges (and the agency has voted not to defend them). We can help you develop the controls and processes you need prior to building your sustainability strategies and reporting to help produce consistent and reliable sustainability data that meets high standards for accuracy and accountability. PwC can also help align your sustainability disclosures with financial reporting standards — enhancing transparency and enabling independent assurance.
Technology, Data and AI
Tech-enabled solutions can drive change. PwC can help you use sustainability data as a strategic asset — embedding it across finance, operations and supply chains to drive growth, enhance profitability and reduce costs while delivering sustainable outcomes. Leveraging AI, advanced analytics and our technology alliance ecosystem, our deep industry knowledge can help you stay ahead. We also guide businesses through digital and regulatory transformations, so you can drive to the leading edge.
Sustainability tax
Integrating tax into sustainability can offset costs. PwC’s holistic sustainability tax services address a broad range of sustainability needs, from managing regulatory compliance to leveraging tax benefits such as the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) tax credits. Our tailored, data-driven tax solutions can address the unique needs of each industry and business size, helping align strategy with sustainability targets — whether it’s for renewable investments, emissions reduction or sustainable infrastructure projects. Over time, we can help your organization navigate the nuances of tax regulations in various regions.
