Climate change is one of the most critical problems facing our planet today. Without convincing global climate action, scientists predict that average temperatures will increase by more than 1.5°C. Beyond this threshold potentially irreversible environmental changes will occur.
We have a worldwide commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We are also committed to supporting our clients to reduce their emissions as well as reducing those from our operations and suppliers.
In particular, we will drive energy efficiencies and switch to renewable electricity in our offices and reduce the impact of our business travel. From 2030, we will also invest in innovative carbon removal projects to neutralise our remaining carbon footprint.
We have an integral role in driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. We will continue to contribute to public policy developments in support of the environment.
The Green Team is a network of 400+ partners and staff who are committed to making our firm a cleaner, greener place to work. The Green Team raises awareness of environmental issues and advocates for behaviour change across the firm.
Green Team members have a number of opportunities to be involved in specific projects that are helping our firm to realise our commitment to achieve net zero. All of our people are welcome to join the Green Team.
Healthy environmental ecosystems are of great importance to First Nations populations globally. Our focus on environmental stewardship extends to protecting, respecting and promoting the unique rights, perspectives and profound spiritual connection to land of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We provide trusted professional services and advice to government, corporate and community clients on First Nations matters via PwC’s Indigenous Consulting (PIC). PIC is an Indigenous Consulting business which maintains a majority owned, led and staffed Indigenous operation.
The unique power of our business is the combination of our Indigenous expertise and experience, with our world-leading professional services capability from across the PwC global network.
We also support the Uluru Statement from the Heart. On matters that disproportionately impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, such as environmental issues, we’re committed to ensuring our response is informed by First Nations Voices.

In January 2021, we became one of the first organisations to publicly endorse the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. We actively encourage our clients, suppliers and other stakeholders to adopt the metrics for their own reporting.
As part of our commitment to promoting transparent and comparable reporting, we continue to publish disclosures based on the Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. Our Firmwide Transparency Report for FY22 measures the impact of our operations across the four pillars of Principles of Governance, People, Planet and Prosperity.
