Message from the CEO

We’re in the midst of a digital revolution—an accelerated, transformative moment reshaping industries through AI, automation, and digital innovation. This unfolds amid market uncertainty, marked by rising tariffs, unstable supply chains, and geopolitical tensions.

This year, I’m pleased that we at PwC Switzerland have acted decisively – adopting at pace, using and developing the right technology, and delivering high-quality solutions. Our people have enabled our clients to lead with clarity and confidence so that they can navigate in this complex environment and succeed.
Thank you to our dedicated people for making this possible and to our clients for your continued trust and partnership.

Purpose

Building trust, driving progress

We believe business plays a crucial role in enabling sustainability and solving important challenges. That's why we're determined to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy whilst supporting wider society, including social and micro-enterprises.

We continuously evolve our business model, processes and habits to enhance sustainability. We invest in our people's skills and awareness so they can bring about positive change — whether supporting communities or charitable organisations.

Our corporate responsibility programmes share PwC's greatest assets—the skills, knowledge and experience of our people—helping create communities where people and businesses thrive. Through pro bono and discounted services, corporate volunteering, donations and skilled engagements, we're putting together the right resources at the right time so you can power opportunity and build a sustainable future.

Leading the path to net zero

We‘re committed to a net zero by 2050 pathway with near-term science-based targets validated by the SBTi: 50% reduction in scope 1, 2 and business travel emissions by FY30. We’ve already achieved 100% renewable electricity consumption since 2021.

We calculate, manage and monitor our carbon footprint annually. Today, we're offsetting emissions through high-quality carbon credits, transitioning to 100% carbon removals from FY30. We engage with key suppliers and support our clients so they can accelerate their decarbonisation journey.

Our environmental engagement

GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions in tCO2e*

Emissions FY19
(baseline)
FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25
Direct emissions** 206 164 115 87 82 90 82
Indirect emissions (market based)*** 222 138 86 79 57 49 61
Other indirect emissions**** 11,784 8,560 1,008 3,999 5,042 5,164 5,345

Indirect emissions (location based)*** 222 192 195 191 157 142 150

* Emissions of FY19-FY24 may vary from previous external reporting owing to data revision and data improvements.
** Direct GHG emissions according to GHG protocol Scope 1: owned or controlled by the firm, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.
*** GHG emissions according to GHG protocol Scope 2: purchased heat and electricity. Scope 2 emissions have been recalculated using IEA country-level factors, since their data pool has significantly improved. Previously, we used the Defra (UK-only) heating factor as a proxy. Our reported Scope 2 values therefore differ from previous reports.
**** GHG emissions according to GHG protocol Scope 3: air travel, commuting, overnight stays, road, train and taxi. We are currently exploring further relevant Scope 3 emissions categories.


Organisation

Building trust starts with earning it. We're committed to transparency in how we're organised and governed, in the people who lead our firm, and in the high standards we uphold every day.

Our stakeholders, markets, and communities rely on us to be candid and clear. That's why we share openly—because transparency builds the foundation for lasting partnerships so you can have confidence in everything we do.
