Like many companies, BDO is on a journey to become a more sustainable organization. We’ve made great progress with enthusiastic support from our leaders and our people, yet there is more to do to ensure a thriving company and a thriving planet, today and for future generations.
Focusing on the topics that matter most to our stakeholders
Using our materiality assessment as a foundation, we ensure that our strategy, values and actions align with the issues identified by our stakeholders.
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.
Achieving Net Zero by 2050
We commit to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before 2050, and halve our base year emissions by 2030.
Using science-based targets
We have committed to setting company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the Science-Based Targets initiative.
Minimizing climate risk
We commit to continuous assessment, mitigation and disclosure of any material climate-related physical and transition risk to our business.
Monitoring and reporting on our progress
We continuously monitor, measure and report on our progress, holding ourselves accountable to the commitments we’ve made.
We recognize the unique opportunity we have as advisors to the middle market—not only to do our part to advance sustainability and ESG practices within BDO, but to help our clients explore and capture the benefits that integrating sustainability and ESG into operations presents. Sustainable business is just better business.
