Sustainability

Make your climate actions count. With targeted, tailored solutions.

Create value through sustainability

Sustainability has an increasingly dramatic impact on businesses, investors, consumers, the workforce, and governments. The Covid-19 pandemic, while disruptive in its` own right, has amplified the push for resilience and sustainable approaches. Stakeholders are seeking more than just financial transparency; they expect businesses to understand and guide their operations based on environmental and social impacts.
Operating sustainably not only averts regulatory risks but also unveils long-term benefits. PwC’s sustainability practice assists businesses in becoming future-ready by making them more resilient, agile, and sustainable.

We provide guidance on a wide variety of sustainability topics, working with corporate, private equity and public sector clients. We specialise in assisting organisations to identify risks and seize emerging opportunities. Together, we move from theory to action with a practical, purpose-led plan that will deliver sustained outcomes.

Sustainable Supply Chains

Building resilient and sustainable supply chains

Integrating sustainability into procurement and operations not only addresses regulatory and stakeholder demands but also offers benefits such as access to capital, risk mitigation, improved brand reputation, increased consumer trust, and thus a competitive advantage. Value chain optimisation and supply chain decarbonisation are at the forefront of the required actions.

We put our experience to work by helping you:

  • assess the risks in your supply chain and the steps necessary to protect your brand

  • consider best practices from various industry sectors

  • define the standards you require from your suppliers to make sure they’re sustainable

  • measure the financial cost or potential impact of your carbon, water, and other usage on the environment and local communities

  • redesign global supply chains to be cost-efficient, minimising their impact on the environment, and delivering products and services on time 

Join us as we explore the future of sustainable supply chains, where resilience meets responsibility.
