McKinsey supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote global security. We are also participants in the UN Global Compact. We are continually strengthening our environmental policies and practices, which address reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, waste, and water usage across our entire operation.
Initiatives include the widespread use of videoconferencing capabilities to avoid unnecessary travel (particularly flights), the implementation of recycling hubs, and locating large offices in energy-efficient buildings. Thirty percent of our offices have LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold certification. We are building a network of Green Teams in our offices across the world to drive local sustainability efforts.
We are also committed to working with our suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders to advance environmental sustainability. Through the work of our Sustainability Practice, we help organizations across the world to operate in a more productive, resource-efficient, and sustainable way.
