Green Jobs Barometer
Now in its fourth year, the Barometer aims to support a fair transition to net zero emissions by building an evidence base of the impact on jobs and communities across the country.
To tackle climate change, the world must bring greenhouse gas emissions to zero. This requires not only innovation and new technologies – it requires trust. Business, investors, consumers and voters all need to have confidence in the transition in order to sustain the pace and scale of the transformation needed.
At PwC, our ambition is to build trust in the climate transition.

Businesses have an important role to play in reducing emissions, and growing numbers have made commitments to reach net zero. Having trust in what companies report about climate change matters – for investors and for anyone interested in how the economy is moving towards net zero.
Read moreEnabling the business transformation needed
Achieving net zero emissions is one of the defining challenges for business this century. It will require transforming operations and business models, across the whole of the economy, at a faster pace than any transition the world has done before. So, it matters that businesses have confidence in how to approach the challenge – and that it is achievable.

The transition to net zero will involve change and disruption. To sustain the effort over the coming decades, broad public support will be required. Voters and consumers will need to see where they fit in and trust that the transition will be fair.

We are committed to playing the fullest role in helping to deliver net zero. We’ve sought and received validation for our science-based targets, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in absolute terms from 2019 levels by 2030 in line with a 1.5 degree scenario.

Carbon Reduction Plan
Our Carbon Reduction Plan has been produced in line with PPN 06/21 and the associated guidance and reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans.
Managing our carbon emissions
Our carbon emissions are relatively low compared to many sectors, as we set out in our statement on climate-related financial risk. However, they’re our biggest environmental impact, and we want to play our part in contributing to the UK Government’s targets of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Offsetting our carbon emissions
We’ve offset our carbon emissions as reported in each financial year since 2007, enabling us to be carbon neutral. We’ve achieved this through significantly reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, and purchasing certified carbon credits to offset what remains at the end of each year.
