Sustainability and ESG
We view sustainability as an investment in the strength of our culture, the resilience of our business and the future of our planet.
Shaping a sustainable future
For us, sustainability isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about taking steps to continuously evolve our business to be more responsible and more resilient. It’s about doing our part to make a positive impact and be a force for change, leading with purpose, holding ourselves accountable and prioritizing long-term stability over short-term financial rewards.
Investing in sustainable initiatives isn’t just about BDO’s future. It’s about the future of all our stakeholders. That’s why we’re continuing to integrate sustainable practices into our operations and have made commitments that will help us ensure that our planet and its people thrive.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Focusing on the topics that matter most to our stakeholders
Using our materiality assessment as a foundation, we commit to ensuring that our strategy, values and actions align with the issues identified by our stakeholders.
Setting and measuring sustainability goals
We commit to setting data-driven, measurable goals and impactful targets, and reporting our progress – the details of which we will share in our sustainability report.
Achieving Net Zero by 2050
As a founding member of the Net Zero Financial Service Providers Alliance, we commit to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before 2050.
Using science-based targets
We have committed to set near-term, company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the Science-Based Targets initiative.
Protecting human rights
We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and commit to conducting our business in alignment with its Ten Principles and to prioritize the advancement and achievement of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
