ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)

What is ESG?

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a framework for businesses to consider the impact and dependencies on the environment and society, along with the quality of their corporate governance. It encompasses all non-financial topics that are not typically captured by traditional financial reporting. 

Stakeholders are increasingly interested and concerned with a company's non-financial performance and ESG credentials from climate change, equality, diversity and inclusion, and management accountability. Businesses across all industries must demonstrate they act with purpose and operate responsibly, and ESG is a way to measure and demonstrate their impact transparently to meet the demands and build the trust of their stakeholders.

ESG is more than ticking boxes. It's about making a difference - for your business and our world. Creating sustained outcomes that drive long-term value and fuel growth, whilst strengthening our environment and societies.

Our ESG work

In 2020, we joined the worldwide near-term science-based commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with 2030 goals. PwC is committed to reducing its emissions in line with a 1.5 degree climate scenario. Our targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative and include commitments to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions and our business travel emissions by 50% in absolute terms by 2030 (from a 2019 base).
