BDO’s global net-zero programme provides all BDO firms with a standardised global methodology and approach that supports them in calculating their firm’s baseline emissions, going on to set net-zero targets and fulfil any annual reporting obligations. This ensures the consistency and auditability of BDO’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and the reduction targets that BDO will be reporting on as a global organisation.
As part of our globally mandated Net-Zero Policy, aimed at driving consistency and accountability in our approach to emissions reduction, we measured our second carbon footprint in 2024, with the majority of member firms collecting and reporting their 2023 carbon baseline data. To support robust carbon footprint measurement and reporting, we have implemented a global carbon data management platform designed to enhance transparency and enable data- driven insights into carbon emissions. This platform provides our member firms with the tools needed to track and manage their carbon footprints, reinforcing our commitment to net- zero goals through technology and data.
Additionally, every firm in the BDO network is required to submit their targets to SBTi and prepare a climate impact report in accordance with TCFD recommendations.
As we move forward, we keep our sights on our Global Vision: ‘Global Solutions. Driven to the best.’ Through our focus on tomorrow and commitment to sustainability, we are expanding our initiatives to all aspects of E, S and G to support our firms in building a more resilient and responsible future. Together, we are transforming our organisation, the profession and broader society for the better.
