Our green journey
At Deloitte, we strive to live our Purpose every day, which is to make an impact that matters for our clients, for our people, and for society.
We know that it is not possible to be a leader in today’s world without prioritising sustainability. As part of a global network, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to positively contribute to a more sustainable world.
By leveraging our worldwide position, we are taking a pioneering and proactive stance to lead the way.
Our impact areas
We want to do better for the planet. But where do you start? For us, we looked in the mirror and identified four main areas that we could improve upon: Mobility, International travel, Infrastructure and Greening up our firm. In each section, we elaborate on how we’re prioritising sustainability.
Our global impact
WorldClimate is a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions within Deloitte by 2030, green-up our own operations and extend our impact beyond the organisation.
We are doing our part to help the world achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement through a global climate strategy centred on changing behaviours within our organisation and among those we influence to take action.
Our local impact
Deloitte Belgium’s vision focuses on three specific pillars: reducing CO2 emissions, greening-up our firm, and empowering our people.
To start, we conducted an internal audit, which showed three carbon footprint hotspots where we could make the greatest short-term impact, namely mobility (our fleet), international travel, and infrastructure (our buildings).
To respond efficiently and effectively, we focused on reducing the fleet’s emissions, limiting travel, and switching buildings to renewable energy.
In a phased approach, we introduced improvements to each of these areas that would reduce our CO2 emissions within defined target areas and offset the remaining emissions in meaningful ways.
