After achieving climate neutrality in 2020, we are setting ourselves further ambitious goals and are aiming for net zero emissions by 2028. In order to ensure transparency around reduction targets, Roland Berger has committed to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). We have conducted a full accounting process in line with the GHG protocol to understand our carbon footprint. This was calculated in cooperation with South Pole – a leading project developer and provider of global climate action services. As a non-manufacturing company, so-called Scope 3 emissions, such as travel, account for a large part of our footprint.

Net zero emissions by 2028

We will take a number of measures to reduce our CO2 footprint, including reviewing the existing company car policy, sourcing renewable energy, increasing the use of teleworking and reducing travel emissions. Any unavoidable carbon footprint will be offset via a certified portfolio of high-quality climate protection projects in the areas of reforestation, prevention of deforestation, energy efficiency and renewable energies. In addition, by continuously increasing our offsets, we will not only reach net zero emissions by 2028 but will also aim to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than our firm emits.
