Environmental sustainability

Our holistic environmental strategy across the United States, Mexico and our overseas Acceleration Centers is integral to our business practices and service offerings, encompassing everything from daily operations and supply chain management to societal investments and our people’s personal efforts.

Engaging our people

Empowering our people to champion sustainable practices and do their part to make a lasting impact is key to our strategy. Their efforts enable us to deepen our connections to each other and to programs that support the communities where we live and work. From the PwC Environmental Inclusion Network, to the Environmental Cause Portfolio that makes it easy for our people to donate to vetted nonprofits, to hosting Environmental Scopeathons (half-day events in which PwC people volunteer their skills to help nonprofits), our people feel not just a part of the firm but part of a community with shared values.

Creating and maintaining sustainable offices

Our offices are another way our purpose, brand and culture come to life. They’re a key part of how we present ourselves to our people, our clients and the world. That’s why we’re striving to make them more sustainable. We prioritize LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) buildings whenever we are considering new office space — demonstrating our efforts to drive energy efficiency and environmental design. Our waste management practices also reflect the work we’re doing to have a more sustainably-minded culture. Almost all of our office spaces have recycling facilities and many also provide compost bins. We have removed deskside bins and steered our people to use consolidated waste hubs to increase recycling and reduce landfill waste.

Our clients

We have a long history of helping organizations build trust through reliable data and accurate reporting as well as actively supporting our clients in understanding and dealing with the uncertainties of climate change. Embracing sustainability can position businesses for lasting success and measurable results in the climate transition. By embedding sustainability as a core strategy across their organizations, we can help clients drive growth and achieve short-, mid- and long-term success. Our support concentrates on two key areas: strategy and operations, and reporting and independent assurance. Learn more about our sustainability services.
