In 2021, emissions slightly increased to approximately 30,975,000 kg CO2e, but the company has since committed to ambitious reduction targets. ZS Associates has set a near-term target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 48.8% by 2030, using 2019 as the base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 55% per full-time equivalent (FTE) within the same timeframe. Long-term, the company has committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2045, with a goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% and Scope 3 emissions by 97% per FTE by that year. These commitments align with industry standards and reflect ZS Associates' dedication to addressing climate change and reducing its environmental impact.
