Forvis Mazars’ near- and long-term net zero targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in September 2024. Extensive work to improve the quality and completeness of our emissions data in line with GHG Protocol principles has enabled us to bring forward our net zero target year from 2050 to 2045.
