Although specific emissions data for the most recent year is not available, EY has committed to a 40% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by FY2025, using FY2019 as the baseline year.

Additionally, the firm plans to achieve a 32% reduction in Scope 3 emissions, which include those from business travel, employee commuting, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation and distribution, and waste generated in operations. Furthermore, EY is committed to transitioning to renewable energy, with a goal to increase its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 41% in FY2019 to 100% by FY2025. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Overall, EY's climate strategy reflects a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible corporate practices in the professional services sector.
