Savills is focused on climate-related risks and working together with its clients, suppliers and the local communities to deliver a more sustainable future.

Addressing climate change is a responsibility we all share. We aim to achieve our SBTi decarbonisation targets by 2030 and be net zero by 2040 alongside supporting clients to mitigate and adapt to climate change striving for a sustainable transition. Below are our key aims for the Climate pillar:

  • Achieve SBTi decarbonisation targets by 2030: Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 72% by 2030 from a 2019 base year thereby achieving our 2030 SBTi target. Additionally, Savills Group has a voluntary long-term target to achieve net zero for its operations (Scope 1 and 2) in 2030 and its value chain (Scope 3) greenhouse gas GHG emissions by 2040.
  • Engage our key suppliers, reducing carbon emissions from goods and services by 51.6% by 2030: Engage our key suppliers to enable us to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions associated with the purchased goods and services we procure by 51.6% per million GBP of value added by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
