Our strong local presence keeps us close to our clients, wherever they operate. Across 13 offices in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, we combine deep market insight with the strength of PwC's global network to support them where they are and where they want to go next.
Our people make the difference, bringing expertise from 89 countries to challenge assumptions and develop solutions that create real value. We're investing in digital skills and using AI to enhance how we work, how we serve clients and how we deliver measurable impact. Together, experienced people and the right technology are what set us apart.
The PwC network has committed to reach net zero GHG emissions across its value chain by FY50, with near-term targets independently validated by the SBTi and aligned with a 1.5-degree scenario. By FY30, the network aims to reduce both scope 1 and 2 and business travel emissions by 50% (from a FY19 base) and reach 100% renewable electricity.
PwC Switzerland is aligned with these global targets and is making measurable progress. As of FY26, against our FY19 baseline, PwC Switzerland has reduced scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based) by 87% and business travel emissions by 70%. In addition, our own operations run on 100% renewable electricity and the share of suppliers (by emissions) with science-based targets has reached 40%. Following a "reduce first, then remove" principle, the carbon credits we voluntarily retire are additional to our reported reductions and not counted towards them. We aim to shift increasingly towards carbon removals. For network-level progress, please refer to the PwC Network Sustainability Report.

A resilient business must be ready to respond to both today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs. We therefore continue to evolve our business model, processes and ways of working to support the transition to a low-carbon economy and contribute to a more sustainable society.
Our people are central to this progress. By investing in their skills and awareness, we enable them to turn knowledge into meaningful action, for our clients, communities, social enterprises and charitable organisations.
Through pro bono and discounted services, corporate volunteering, donations and skills-based engagements, we bring together our people’s expertise and experience where they can have the greatest impact. In doing so, we help strengthen communities, create opportunities and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Sound governance is the backbone of our culture, and it's what allows clients and stakeholders to rely on us with confidence. We hold ourselves to high standards, not as a formality, but because they reflect who we are and what we stand for: building trust in society and solving important problems.
