As the impacts of climate change become ever more tangible, the need for accurate carbon measurement and decisive climate action is increasingly pressing. Calculating our global Corporate Carbon Footprint across Member Firms in nearly 100 countries, with unique factors to take into consideration across each territory and in the absence of global reporting standards has been a challenging but important process. Our determination to do so reflects the importance we place on climate action. This is the second year RSM has calculated its global Corporate Carbon Footprint, our aim is that by providing a global picture of our emissions, we can identify commonalities, share best practices, and enable tailored approaches that respect local circumstances while contributing to a unified global impact.
This report includes activities from 2023 across all Member Firms encompassing more than 500 offices and 47,000 people. In line with the commitments we have collectively made in our 2030 Global Strategy to ensure we consider responsible environmental, social and governance practice in everything we do, we remain committed to an annual tracking process and to carbon reduction benchmarks and goals.
RSM has always been very effective at harnessing its global strength, recognising - across teams, offices and Firms - that we are stronger together than working alone. We know that it takes collective efforts to make a difference for the society around us and we are committed to improving our working approaches, sustainability measurement framework and transparency to ensure we are at the forefront of responsible business practice.
