Corporate sustainability

Mission, vision and commitment of the Board on corporate sustainability

Our mission is to make a positive contribution to society and local communities. Our vision places sustainability at the heart of our organisation. Through collaboration, people‑centred leadership and innovation, we build a fair and sustainable organisation.

Our commitment is clear. Together, we strive for a sustainable future, guided by integrity, respect for our people and their private lives and an open dialogue with stakeholders. We continuously challenge ourselves to improve and innovate, even when this requires difficult choices. In doing so, we build a future‑proof Forvis Mazars with a positive impact for current and future generations.

This is our commitment to our clients, our people and society.

Forvis Mazars For Good

Under the name Forvis Mazars For Good, we bring together our initiatives in sustainability, responsible business and social engagement. This forms the foundation of our sustainability strategy. Step by step, we are building a fair, responsible and future‑focused organisation for our people, our clients and the society in which we work.

The pillars of our sustainability strategy

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide our ambition. As a member of the UN Global Compact, we focus on the SDGs where we can make a real impact. These are translated into the four pillars of Forvis Mazars For Good.

Integrity and responsibility: we act with honesty and care, work to high quality standards and take responsibility for our role in society. In this way, we contribute to trust, strong institutions and a sustainable economy.

People: we invest in development, wellbeing and an inclusive culture in which everyone can be themselves and grow, both professionally and personally.

Community involvement: we share knowledge, support volunteering initiatives and collaborate with educational institutions to strengthen local communities.

Climate and environment: we reduce our impact on the climate and the environment through our Net Zero journey and by making sustainable choices in travel, procurement and operations.

With these pillars, sustainability guides everything we do. Today, with tomorrow in mind.

SBTi Net Zero commitment

In November 2022, Forvis Mazars Group committed to achieving Net Zero emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with a target year of 2045. This commitment is based on scientific insights and aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement.

In the Netherlands, we go further. We aim to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 88% and Scope 3 emissions by 39% by 2030. Our long‑term ambition is to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% by 2041.

We recognise that these targets require additional focus and investment. That is why we continuously adapt and improve our operations to deliver on our commitment to people and planet.

Sustainability is a shared responsibility. Every choice matters. By travelling responsibly, working sustainably and improving our processes, we take collective steps towards a climate‑neutral future.

UN Global Compact, SDGs and Forvis Mazars For Good

At Forvis Mazars, sustainability is an integral part of how we work and do business. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact, we commit to principles relating to human rights, good employment practices, environmental protection and integrity. These principles, together with the SDGs, form our compass and are translated into the four pillars of Forvis Mazars For Good.
