Taking steps to address climate change PwC Australia has, over a number of years, redesigned all of its nine ofifces to reduce emissions associated with ofifce energy consumption. Five ofifces have received an Australian Government National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) Rating of 5 Stars (“Excellent”) or higher. This includes our Sydney ofifce which, as part of the Barangaroo precinct, is committed to being carbon neutral and water positive and to create zero waste emissions. PwC Netherlands has implemented an internal price on carbon and is using the resulting budget to fund initiatives that help address the ifrm’s climate impact. In May 2021, the Environmental Footprints Insights app was released to help PwC Netherlands’ employees understand the impact of their mobility choices. The tool enables both management and employees to plan and carry out their projects more sustainably by tracking the carbon footprint associated with each project’s mobility. The funds generated from the internal carbon pricing have also been used to accelerate PwC Netherlands’ transition to an electric car lfeet and support the development of a new production facility for sustainable aviation fuels. PwC UK’s new ofifce in Belfast, its largest outside London, opened in July 2021 and was designed with sustainability and wellbeing at its heart. It is Northern Ireland's ifrst BREEAM Excellent building, utilising the previous building's existing frame to reduce embodied carbon, as well as consuming no fossil fuels through the use of 100% renewable electricity to heat and cool lfoors independently on a lfoor-by-lfoor basis, thereby maximising efifciency and energy utilisation. The ofifce incorporates meditation pods and offers employees daily exercise classes in Yoga and Body Combat, as well as physiotherapy and other wellbeing services. PwC Italy's new Milan ofifce - PwC Tower - opened in 2021 and houses over 3,000 staff. It was designed by the Studio Libeskind architectural practice following state-of-the-art building and sustainability criteria. The PwC Tower is LEED certiifed, has 270-square-meters of solar panels and charging stations for electric vehicles, and uses FSC-certiifed wood throughout. PwC Tower - Milan
