EY Ireland has said it plans to offset more carbon than it emits this year - to become carbon negative.
In a new statement on sustainability, EY set out seven steps to not only become carbon negative but to reduce total emissions by 40% - and achieve net zero in 2025.
In December 2020, the organisation achieved carbon neutrality.
Carmine Di Sibio, EY Global Chairman and CEO, said that combatting climate change is a "vital element" of building a better working world.
"While this challenge is unique and different for each organisation, we are inspired by those that are setting ambitious targets despite the difficulties they face.
"EY people are passionate about tackling big challenges and with the power of 300,000 of them, we will not only transform EY to become a leader in sustainability, but also help EY clients do the same," he said.
Included in the new sustainability plan are measures to reduce overall office electricity usage, as well as measiures to cut business travel emissions by 35%.
