The environmental impact of Macquarie’s own business operations,1 predominantly relates to the resources consumed in our offices and data centres, business travel, and our procurement activities. We seek to manage this impact by monitoring and reducing resource use, developing innovative and sustainable workplaces and improving the sustainability of our supply chain.
Macquarie remains focused on the following commitments, and will continue to report on its progress against these commitments:
- Source the equivalent of 100% renewable electricity across Macquarie’s global offices and data centres
- Maintain a net zero emissions position across Scope 1 and Scope 2 for our own business operations
- Continue to offset Scope 3 Category 6: Business travel emissions including air, hotels, taxis, car rental and food and beverages for our own business operations
- By 2030, own business operations suppliers representing 75% of our Scope 3 Category 1: Purchased goods and services, and Scope 3 Category 6 Business travel (air and hotel) emissions have a science-aligned emissions reduction target
- Ensure we pay our suppliers in a timely manner (average number of days to pay), including small suppliers, in line with our global regulatory obligations
- Commitment to spend a cumulative $A150 million from FY2026 – FY2030 with diverse suppliers
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.
