When COVID-19 restrictions led to a record drop in global carbon emissions, the world saw the difference a collective change in behavior can make for the environment. However, when restrictions eased, emissions rebounded. And the temporary reduction in emissions wasn’t enough to slow the rise in extreme weather events and other impacts of climate change. Globally, the calls for immediate action on climate became more urgent. Deloitte’s ambition is to help lead the world’s transition to a lower-carbon future. And over the past year, Deloitte has shown that we have the scale, knowledge and resources to turn this ambition into meaningful, measurable action. Deloitte supply chains cross multiple industries and regions of the world. Because more than two-thirds of Deloitte’s aggregate emissions are derived from purchased goods and services, our WorldClimate strategy includes a specific focus on developing more sustainable supply chains. Deloitte’s outreach to our global supply base for carbon emission reporting has more than doubled for FY2022, to over 400 suppliers. Continuing to use the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) platform, Deloitte has engaged our largest suppliers to report their emissions through this centralized climate-focused reporting mechanism. Deloitte was named a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader in 2021 in recognition of these efforts. Initiatives of this kind help Deloitte to calculate our emissions with greater precision and identify which suppliers we should engage with directly. These initiatives also help to lay the foundation for Deloitte’s 2025 goal of having two-thirds of our suppliers (by emissions) set science-based targets.
