CPA Australia Sustainability Commitments
2050
Reach net zero emissions
CPA Australia has committed to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, or sooner, within its organisation. It says this will be supported by its Net Zero Emissions Pathway, which covers energy use, waste, travel emissions, and supply chain emissions. Net zero means reducing emissions as far as possible and dealing with the remaining amount in another way.
2027
Embed ESG in strategy
CPA Australia says its ESG Strategy is part of its organisational strategy for 2022 to 2027. It plans to keep incorporating ESG into its activities so it can meet the needs of members, employees, and other stakeholders. The focus is on long-term environmental, social, and governance performance, plus regular monitoring and reporting.
2025
Expand sustainability learning
CPA Australia says it will continue expanding member capability through sustainability micro-credentials and an updated CPA Program that will include dedicated sustainability electives. It also has a 2025 Global ESG webinar series planned on topics such as biodiversity, social responsibility, and climate risks. These plans show a future focus on training and professional development in ESG.
