This represents an increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 1,383,000,000 kg CO2e, with similar scope distributions. KPMG has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 50% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, based on 2020 levels. 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 includes a 25% reduction against their 2019 baseline by 2022. KPMG's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that their reported figures reflect their direct operations. The firm is actively working towards these targets, with a focus on transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2030.
