Additionally, EY is committed to increasing its annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 41% in FY2019 to 100% by FY2025. In January 2021, EY announced its carbon ambition to achieve net zero emissions by 2025, having already attained carbon neutrality in 2020. This commitment involves reducing, offsetting, and removing more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit. The emissions data and targets are cascaded from their parent organization, Ernst & Young LLP, which is part of a larger corporate family structure. EY's targets align with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring that their reduction goals are consistent with the global aim to limit warming to 1.5°C.
