Additionally, the firm has pledged to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across all scopes by 2030, a target that is 20 years ahead of the Paris Agreement timeline. This commitment reflects KPMG's proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing its overall carbon footprint. The firm has also achieved a 25% reduction in emissions against its 2019 baseline by 2022, demonstrating progress towards its long-term sustainability goals. KPMG's initiatives are supported by its overarching strategy to transition to 100% renewable energy by 2030, further solidifying its commitment to environmental stewardship.
