DXC is committed to absolute reduction targets that align with the spirit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the climate agreements. As evidence of our commitment, we have committed to set near-term company-wide emissions reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
DXC has committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additional targets include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions 55% by 2025 against a 2019 baseline; reducing electricity consumption 35% by 2025 against a 2019 baseline; and maintaining renewable electricity at current levels. We expect to achieve this target by implementing our Virtual First business model, which enables 99% of DXC’s global workforce to work virtually; continually enhancing the efficiency of our offices and data centers; and using our advanced analytics to improve the efficiency of our IT estate. In FY22, DXC will begin a more in-depth assessment of Scope 3 emissions, with particular focus on emissions related to purchased goods and services in order to better inform future goals.
DXC’s environmental targets form part of our structured management system designed to identify key environmental impacts, measure performance and actively identify opportunities for improvement. This is conducted in accordance with our governance structure that is highlighted in our Environmental, Social and Governance strategy. Our Environmental Policy covers our activities and services worldwide that strive to reduce our impact on the environment.
