Committing to net zero

Creating a more resilient, sustainable and inclusive future together.

PwC has made a worldwide commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with near-term science-based 2030 goals. We will work with our clients to support their efforts to make a net zero future a reality and will continue our longstanding programme of research and collaboration with business, policy makers, and NGOs to accelerate the transition to a net zero economy. We are also transitioning our business in line with a 1.5-degree climate scenario as set out in the Paris Agreement, with SBTi validated near-term targets. We are working to decarbonise our operations and supply chain as well as adapt our business to the risks and opportunities presented by a net zero future - sharing our experience with others.

PwC China is committed to addressing the root causes of climate change and to leading by example. We have been taking bold steps to contribute to China's ambitious 30-60 decarbonisation goals through management of our carbon footprint, sourcing renewable electricity certificates, and collective efforts and continuous dialogues with business, government, and NGOs, providing our insights and support to accelerate change.

Net zero with 2030 goals


Decarbonising our operations and supply chain

At PwC China, we are committed to decarbonising our business and adapting to the impacts of climate change. This means setting clear targets, creating practical plans that achieve real results, and collaborating with other organisations in the broader ecosystem to support the net zero transition.

Our approach to delivering on net zero is based on the carbon mitigation hierarchy:

  • Avoid: eliminate our impact through rethinking our business strategy.
  • Reduce: do what we do more efficiently.
  • Replace: replace high-carbon energy sources with low carbon ones.
  • Offset: offset remaining emissions that are not eliminated by the above.
