Our fleet remains a key focus area in our transition to net zero. In FY26, fleet emissions accounted for 19% of our total greenhouse gas emissions and 96% of our scope 1 emissions, making it one of our most significant decarbonisation levers. Since July 2023, ur people have only been able to order fully electric company vehicles. We remain on track to transition our entire fleet to electric vehicles by 2028, ahead of our original target. We complement this transition with a broad mobility programme that includes public transport, cycling, and flexible mobility benefits. As a result, we've already achieved a 73% reduction in fleet-related scope 1 emissions compared with FY19.
Environmental impact
There’s a critical imperative for both individuals and companies to address environmental concerns (resource depletion, climate change, waste, pollution, etc.). Something that we, as PwC, take very seriously. We’ve taken a conscious decision to embed sustainability principles in everything we do and have many actions in place to help us limit our negative impact on the world.
Climate change
We believe that to tackle climate change we need to both decarbonise and move towards net zero faster than we do today, and that’s not all. We’ve identified a number of strategic challenges that we believe we should address as part of our climate scenario analysis.
Going for net zero
PwC is committed to a net zero pathway and has set science-based targets (SBTs) for reducing its emissions in line with a 1.5-degree climate scenario. These targets are adopted by each member firm across the network. We’ve committed to:
Overall net zero target: Reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Long-term target: Reduce scope 1, 2, and 3 absolute emissions by 90% from a FY19 base by 2050.
Near-term targets: Reduce scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions by 50% from a FY19 base by FY30. Transition to 100% renewable electricity in all PwC firms by FY30. Reduce absolute business travel emissions by 50% from a FY19 base by FY30. Have 50% of our purchased goods and services suppliers (by emissions) set science-based targets to reduce their own climate impact by FY25.
We’ll also continue to offset the scope 1, 2, and scope 3 business travel emissions that we’re already able reduce today through the purchase of high-quality carbon credits. We're transitioning our carbon credit portfolio to carbon removals and will achieve 100% carbon removals by FY30.

Resource use and circular economy
We seek to use resources responsibly and minimise waste across our operations. Through a combination of waste prevention, recycling, composting, and employee engagement initiatives, we continue to support a more circular approach to resource use in our offices.
Key initiatives include:
Food waste from the PwC Campus kitchen is processed using an onsite composting system. Waste corners throughout the office also enable the collection and composting of bio-waste.
Through the Too Good To Go platform, surplus food from our Brussels and Antwerp restaurants is made available for consumption rather than becoming waste.
To reduce single-use consumption, reusable mugs, glasses, and water bottles are provided to our people. Food packaging used in our catering facilities is either recyclable or compostable. Wherever possible, food is served on reusable crockery.
All offices use reusable textile towel systems, which require less energy, generate fewer emissions, and produce significantly less waste than traditional paper towel solutions.
During our digital clean-up month, colleagues were encouraged to recycle unused electronic devices and reduce their digital footprint. Equipment collected was reused or responsibly recycled through Recupel.
