At PwC, we recognise that sustainability is not a standalone agenda. Sustainability considerations are increasingly relevant to how we create and protect long-term value and manage risk so we can support our clients. We integrate relevant considerations into our operations and decision-making, seeking to improve performance, strengthen resilience, and contribute to our PwC purpose: to build trust in society and solve important problems.
Through our sustainability activities, we seek to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, use resources more efficiently, and strengthen our resilience to climate and broader sustainability-related risks.
Our experience within our own operations informs our understanding of some of the opportunities and challenges our clients face. By combining responsible business practices with commercial discipline, we aim to support the long-term success of the PwC network in a changing business environment.
We expect our approach to continue to evolve as sustainability reporting standards and practices develop, and as the quality and availability of relevant data and insights improve.
Our material sustainability topics
In 2025, we carried out a materiality assessment to identify the most significant sustainability-related topics that could reasonably be expected to affect our business. These are:
- Climate
- Own workforce
- Business culture and ethics
- Data privacy, information protection, and cybersecurity
- Sustainability in our services
More detailed information on our materiality assessment process can be found here.
Our progress so far
The PwC network has a global commitment to net zero, with near and long-term science-based targets (SBTs) set for FY30 and FY50, respectively.
Our near-term science-based targets |

50% reduction in our absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY30 from an FY19 baseline. |
73% reduction in our absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY30 from an FY19 baseline. | |
| 50% reduction in absolute business travel emissions by FY30 from an FY19 baseline. | 46% reduction in absolute business travel emissions by FY30 from an FY19 baseline. | |
| 59% of our suppliers (by emissions) have set science-based targets (SBTs) by FY30. | 29% of suppliers (by emissions) had SBTs, and a further 3% had publicly committed to setting one. | |
In addition to these science-based targets, we are also:
- Transitioning to 100% renewable electricity by FY30.
- Purchasing high-quality carbon credits each year that approximately correspond to our scope 1, 2, and 3 business travel emissions that we have not yet reduced or eliminated. Carbon credits do not count towards our emissions reductions.
