Environmental, Social and Governance
The environmental and social impacts of Macquarie’s own business operations predominantly relate to the energy and resources we consume in our offices and data centres, business travel, and our procurement activities. We seek to manage these impacts by monitoring and reducing our operational emissions, developing innovative and sustainable workplaces, being efficient with energy and resource use, and improving the sustainability and diversity of our supply chain.
Macquarie’s 2025 Sustainability Plan articulates our corporate sustainability commitments with specific and measurable targets across environmental and social pillars.
Macquarie reports on its progress against these commitments within the ESG section of the Macquarie Group Annual Report and the Net Zero and Climate Risk Report, including providing detail on the ratings of the major offices our employees occupy.
To meet the requirements of the California voluntary carbon market disclosure we provide information on the voluntary carbon offsets purchased by Macquarie to offset Scope 1 emissions from office premises and Scope 3 emissions attributable to business travel.
Our 2025 Sustainability Plan focuses on five key pillars, aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)1 with clear targets and initiatives under each pillar. The Plan reflects our ongoing commitment to have a positive social and environmental impact across our own business operations.

Macquarie is committed to ensuring high standards of environmental, social and governance performance throughout our supply chain.

They help Macquarie uphold its core values with the aim of creating supplier relationships that deliver long term, sustainable value for our clients, shareholders and communities.
