1. Net-zero by 2040 target

Deloitte Global’s net-zero by 2040 target is inclusive of our near- and long-term targets and has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Deloitte Global’s net-zero by 2040 target is consistent with the Paris Agreement goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Near-term targets:

• Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 70% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• Reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel 55% per full-time equivalent employee by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
• Engage with our suppliers to have 67% by emissions set science-based targets by 2025.

Long-term targets:

• Reduce absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2040 from a 2019 base year.

Additional Environmental Sustainability Goals:

By 2030:

• Source 100% renewable electricity for our buildings by 2030.
• Convert 100% of our fleet to hybrid and electric vehicles by 2030.

2. Embed sustainability

Deloitte China recognizes we must align our climate policies, practices, and actions across our organization, by:

• Designating a senior leader to be responsible for climate in each geography;
• Prioritizing discussion of climate change on executive agendas;
• Embedding climate-smart considerations into operational decisions; and
• Continuing to report the organization’s annual emissions externally for transparency and accountability.

3. Empower individuals

By engaging and educating our professionals at Deloitte China on climate change impacts—decisions about what they consume, use, and buy—we will enable our people to make positive climate choices at home and at work, and amplify these through their personal networks.

4. Engage ecosystems

Deloitte China will collaborate with clients, alliance partners, NGOs, industry groups, suppliers, and others to:

• Increase demand for responsible products and services;
• Remove roadblocks that get in the way of enacting change; and
• Create innovative climate solutions at a systems and operations level.
