Ernst And Young's reported carbon emissions
Ernst And Young, a Professional Organisation headquartered in GB, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,146,000,000 kg CO2e for 2025. This includes 18,001,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 37,000,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 1,091,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were business travel (615,000,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (354,000,000 kg CO2e), and employee commute (83,000,000 kg CO2e).
Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 1,050,000,000 kg CO2e in 2024, 967,000,000 kg CO2e in 2023, 563,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 394,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 (excluding Scope 2 market-based emissions), and 976,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020. In 2019, the baseline year for many of their targets, total emissions were approximately 1,719,000,000 kg CO2e.
Ernst And Young has committed to several climate goals. They aim for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by FY2050, with a near-term target to halve emissions by FY2030 (50% GHG emissions reduction against an FY2019 baseline). Specifically, they commit to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 75.7% by FY2030 from an FY2019 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 46.9% within the same timeframe. They also plan to increase annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 41% in FY2019 to 100% by FY2025 and maintain this through FY2030.
Ernst And Young has also set a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 40% by FY2025 from an FY2019 base year. Within this, they aim for a 93% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and a 32% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions (from business travel, employee commuting, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations) over the same period. They further committed to increasing annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 41% in FY2019 to 100% by FY2025. This near-term target is classified as consistent with a 1.5°C warming trajectory. Ernst And Young also has a long-term net-zero SBTi commitment.
