Fighting climate change

EY is committed to fighting climate change. Our ethos is to go beyond ‘just working sustainably’ – we
continuously work with governments and businesses towards a more sustainable future. We are part
of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and our environmental strategy is aligned with the
UNGC environmental principles. We will implement the following for G-Cloud 14:
• Carbon neutral projects: We pledge to deliver each G-Cloud 14 project as carbon neutral. To
do this, we will use our engagement carbon calculator tool. This enables us to monitor and
reduce different impacts, e.g. travel emissions. The data from the tool also supports
employee training and awareness raising on sustainable behaviours.
• Reducing our carbon footprint: In January 2020, EY announced a global commitment to
become carbon neutral. We achieved this in December 2020. We became carbon negative in
2021 and we are forecast to reach net zero in FY25. We are reducing emissions and
offsetting or removing more than the remaining amount annually. We are forecast to reduce
emissions by 40% by FY25, against a FY19 baseline, consistent with our 1.5°C Science
Based Target.
• Purchasing renewable energy: We confirm all work delivered for G-Cloud 14 from an EY
office will be powered by 100% renewable energy. We have purchased zero-carbon
electricity since 2009 and reduced global consumption by 5.5%. In December 2020, we
signed a 10-year power purchase agreement with Lightsource to provide us with solar
energy.
• Sustainability volunteering: In proportion to the length and size of each framework contract,
we will allocate staff volunteering days to support local environmental projects. These could
include litter picking and general upkeep of nature reserves and Sites of Special Scientific
Interest and free advisory sessions for small community organisations caring for the
environment
