Our Net Zero Carbon Journey

Our Operations

Increasing energy efficiency in our buildings is paramount to our decarbonization journey. To do so, we focus on reducing our energy consumption through targeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification or its equivalent across our global portfolio. As we plan, design and construct new workplaces, we seek low carbon strategies and sustainable designs that reduce energy use, carbon emissions and potable water consumption to the greatest extent feasible and continue to evaluate opportunities for ongoing operational efficiencies.

We also source electricity equivalent to 100% of our global consumption from renewable sources. We play an active role in enabling new renewable electricity to be brought to the grid in key locations where we operate, as part of our goal to source 80% of our renewable energy from long-term, impactful agreements.

Our Supply Chain

Engaging with our vendors is an important step in addressing Scope 3 supply chain emissions and is critical to our emissions reduction efforts. 

We engage our vendors to better understand their carbon emissions reduction strategies, focusing on our top vendors. Vendors representing over 70% of our supply chain emissions disclosed their emissions and climate goals in 2023, helping us understand our footprint and prepare for future reporting on our supply chain. Nearly 40% of the vendors we engaged in 2023 disclosed that they have their own net zero carbon commitment.

Carbon Credits

We recognize that a portion of Scope 1, 2 and 3 operational and supply chain emissions will not be eliminated through reduction strategies and will require investments in carbon removal credits. We are working with internal stakeholders to pursue collaborations and seeking to better align our efforts with our vendors.

Globally, we remain focused on our operations and supply chain decarbonization efforts. Read more on our progress in our latest Sustainability Report.
