PwC announced its new global environmental commitments and Natural Capital Partners is pleased to be working with them as its principal supplier of carbon finance projects to offset its unavoidable air travel emissions.
PwC recognises that travel is an essential part of how it services its clients but is also one of its largest sources of carbon emissions. Therefore, in addition to adopting new meeting technologies and investing in research to advance greener air travel, the firm has worked with Natural Capital Partners to create a portfolio of projects around the world to offset its emissions linked to air travel.
“PwC is a perfect example of how to create an offset program of the highest integrity, combining emissions reductions with sustainable development goals, and delivering local relevance for its firms throughout the world. We are delighted that through our comprehensive network of project partnerships we have created a top quality portfolio that delivers on these objectives,” says Mark LaCroix, Executive Vice-President of Natural Capital Partners.
The portfolio follows strict quality criteria and provides a range of sustainable development benefits, including supporting local economic development, creating renewable energy infrastructure and conserving and restoring forestry and landscapes. Member firms are able to select projects that meet their local priorities from the portfolio.
