Approach to ESG

The report outlines BDO's environmental, social, and governance priorities. It reports that BDO became carbon neutral across its GB office network in 2019/20 and describes a global net-zero commitment for 2050 or sooner, alongside emissions reductions in 2020/21 that were primarily linked to COVID-19 lockdowns. Social highlights include achieving the firm's 20% female-partner ambition in November 2021 and supporting social-mobility and wellbeing initiatives. The report also describes the ESG Board's oversight role and lists a materiality assessment and a net-zero roadmap as future objectives.
