Peer cohort: Consulting · lower is better
Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
13.7tCO2e / $m

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

best 10.2n=3 peersworst 21.7
Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
17.8tCO2e / $m

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
tCO2e / $m

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
102tCO2e / $m

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Above median

Workforce intensity
Carbon / FTE
0.04tCO2e / FTE

Carbon per FTE (full-time-equivalent employee) — the diagnostic measure for people-leveraged businesses where headcount, not capital, drives delivery. Captures the office, energy and travel footprint per person.

  • PwC Global net zero targets validated by SBTi

    PwC Global has near-term (2030) and long-term (2050) net zero GHG emissions targets validated by SBTi, aligned with 1.5-degree scenario. Group is committed to net zero by 2050.

    2025
  • Restated baseline and comparative emissions figures

    Certain base year and comparative numbers have been updated to reflect revised emission factors. In the prior year accounts, fugitive emissions, fuel and energy related activities, and waste figures were restated.

    2025
  • Climate risk timeframes revised

    Timeframes across which climate-related risks and opportunities have been assessed were revised: short (up to 2030), medium (up to 2049), long-term (2050+). Previously short-term only extended to 2025.

    2025
  • Missed FY25 supplier SBTi engagement target

    Group committed that 50% of purchased goods and services suppliers (by emissions) would have set science-based targets by FY25. Achieved only 28% — missed FY25 target due to slower adoption in Middle East and Channel Islands.

    2025
  • Scope 1 emissions increased due to refrigerant losses

    UK total scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions increased 74% year on year due to refrigerant losses including a large loss in Glasgow office in July 2024 from aging equipment. PwC has now moved to a new Glasgow office.
