Environmental Sustainability

Environmental Management System

We’ve had an EMS program for more than a decade. We are ISO 14001:2015 certified for our global headquarters; it’s how we hold ourselves accountable—with a “plan-do-check-act” management construct that allows us to effectively and systematically identify and manage the parts of our operations that have the greatest impact on the environment.

We strive to comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and incorporate leading practices such as GHG reduction measures, efficient use of resources, and minimizing waste generation in our operations whenever possible. We develop innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients to address global challenges while promoting responsible consumption of resources in operating our business.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

For over 10 years, we have been calculating our carbon footprint with increasing maturity and granularity, ensuring a full understanding and recognition of our impact. In 2015, we set targets to reduce by 2026 our Scope 2 emissions per square foot and Scope 2 emissions per employee by 15% using a 2014 baseline, and we achieved both goals well ahead of schedule. In FY23, we submitted two goals to the science-based target initiative (SBTi): An overall 50.4% emissions reduction by 2032 and a 90% reduction by 2050. These goals support the SBTi goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

While we do not have a significant impact related to water use, we're conscious of the impact related to our employee water use in facilities and take consistent steps to encourage conservation. Because we don't own our facilities, usage and reduction data is not available to us at this time, but we're committed to taking reasonable steps to minimize our impact in this aspect of environmental sustainability.
