MANUFACTURING AND MOBILITY , EY rakes in US $ 40bn in revenue , with its 312,200 employees working across the globe . Like many businesses , EY has firmly planted sustainability at its core and is committed to helping others do the same . EY ’ s ‘ Value-Led Sustainability ’ is a way to create new sources of value – for businesses and the world .
Improving sustainability and reducing waste at EY Yadati left India in 1992 and went to study in the USA , where he and his family have now settled in Detroit .
Keeping the planet cool is one of Yadati ’ s many goals . When the UN released its latest IPCC Climate Report , Yadati was not surprised at the evidence showing : “ Global warming of 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C will be exceeded during the 21st century , unless deep reductions in carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and other greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades .”
“ It ’ s pretty obvious that we must continue to invest in sustainability and in technologies that would accelerate our means to achieve these goals , including but not limited to carbon sequestration and capture ,” says Yadati .
In October 2021 , EY reached carbon neutrality . This was a major milestone in EY ’ s sustainability journey , but not the final step on the company ’ s path to reach net zero
