Sustainability strategy and transformation

Generating value through ESG requires a sustainability strategy that’s integrated with corporate strategy. We can help you create an effective strategy and implement it through new operating models that transform your business in ways that drive stakeholder value and create more resilient and sustainable value chains.

How we can help

Climate change and decarbonization

We can help you identify, mitigate and build resilience to your industry-specific physical and transition risks associated with climate change. We can support the development and implementation of your decarbonization strategies, including setting and delivering on carbon-reduction targets (including net zero) across your value chain, as well as accessing and navigating carbon markets.

How we can help

Sustainability reporting and assurance

We’ve advised organizations on their sustainability reporting for more than 20 years. We can help you navigate the onslaught of new mandatory disclosure requirements and the standards that underpin them—such as those issued by the IFRS, ISSB, CSRD, SEC and CSA—and develop a reporting strategy, including voluntary measures that reflect your sustainability performance. Our assurance team can support you with report readiness, transformation assurance, third-party supplier assurance, climate-related verification services and certifications.

How we can help

Sustainable finance

Sustainable finance refers to financial activities that apply ESG factors to promote sustainable economic growth and the long-term stability of the financial system. We help financial institutions and other companies across the financial services sector develop strategies and operating models to access and provide sustainable financing—letting you create value through an integrated ESG and corporate strategy right through the deal lifecycle.

Advancing important conversations

We’ve worked with the World Economic Forum to both develop carbon markets as well as align global reporting standards, which culminated in the establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). We also helped the Canadian Chamber of Commerce shape energy transition policy recommendations and advance Canada’s role in the global market for critical minerals. And our global Centre for Nature Positive Business brings together expertise and capabilities while expanding nature capabilities across the world in areas such as biodiversity, water, regenerative agriculture and forestry.

Workforce representation

We set and disclose workforce representation targets to promote greater diversity on our teams. We also engaged an outside research company to strengthen the quality of our data on workplace equity, inclusion, diversity and belonging. And our firm is home to more than a dozen inclusion networks made up of partners, staff and allies who share common interests, goals and objectives. Elsewhere, we provide our employees with training in support of our Indigenous reconciliation journey and have enhanced our commitment to the Onyx Initiative, which connects Black students and recent graduates to prospective employers like PwC Canada.

Digitally upskilling two million Canadians by 2025

As part of our social impact efforts, we help beneficiaries of our upskilling programs live, learn, work and participate in the digital world. And we increase our impact by sharing our pro-bono capabilities. For example, our technology strategy and transformation team is helping the Equality Fund—an organization responsible for disbursing almost $1 billion in funding to women-led organizations around the world—grow from a startup to a technology-enabled organization over the coming years.
