Corporate sustainability: Doing our part to care for the planet

Intuit's mission is to power prosperity around the world, but we know that without a healthy planet, no one can prosper. That is why we have long been focused on making a positive impact on climate change, the most significant issue of our time that directly affects prosperity amongst businesses, communities, and ecosystems. We are on a journey to reach net-zero emissions by 2040 and we are committed to supporting climate action beyond our four walls so that all communities can thrive and prosper.

Our net-zero commitment

Intuit is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by FY2040, which is in line with the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and achieving net-zero global emissions before 2050.

As part of this commitment, Intuit’s science-based near-term and long-term emissions reduction targets have been validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global body that enables businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. Intuit is committed to achieving these targets by prioritizing direct emissions reductions, or decarbonization, across our value chain. Any residual emissions will be neutralized, if applicable, in line with SBTi criteria before reaching net-zero emissions.

Our science-based targets include near-term targets of reducing absolute Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by FY2030, from a FY2022 base year. We also commit that 80% of our suppliers, measured by emissions covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by FY2027.

Our commitment also includes long-term targets which commits to reducing absolute Scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040, from a FY2022 base year. Additionally, Intuit has also committed to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions by 97% per million USD value added (gross profit) by FY2040 from a FY2022 base year.

Carbon reduction projects across our global real estate portfolio are a key component of our net-zero strategy to address emissions. This includes investing in the decarbonization of our facilities as well as expanding procurement of renewable energy across our campuses. To address and reduce Scope 3 emissions, we're working collaboratively with our suppliers through two primary programs. The Supplier Emissions Reduction Program offers suppliers tailored support to measure their emissions, set reduction targets, and create roadmaps for meaningful climate action. The Supplier Climate Action Accelerator program focuses on small businesses with the aim to help these suppliers accelerate their climate action journey, wherever they are on their journey. This program provides participants with funding, software, and advice from third-party experts to help them measure their GHG emissions and set science-based targets.

Our net-zero commitment is a huge step forward for Intuit, and we’re laying the groundwork to meet our goals across our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. We'll continue to provide updates on progress towards our corporate sustainability goals.

Climate change impacts us all and the time to act is now. At Intuit, we’ve set science-based net-zero targets to guide us as we decarbonize our operations and supply chain, and we work with partners to reduce emissions in communities beyond our value chain. It’s an exciting time as we strive to make a positive impact on climate change and inspire others to do the same.

Beyond our net-zero targets

Climate change impacts everyone, including our employees, our customers, and the communities they are a part of. However, climate change doesn’t impact everyone equally. It poses the greatest threats to underserved groups who already face socioeconomic and environmental challenges and disparities. Understanding this reality, Intuit remains committed to supporting climate action initiatives that both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide meaningful additional benefits for communities beyond our value chain.

Creating solutions that solve for the long-term effects of climate change requires collaboration. Through strategic partnerships, Intuit takes a holistic approach to climate action, looking both inward at our operational footprint and outward beyond our value chain into the communities we serve. By forging innovative pathways for community solar projects, sustainable workforce development, and programs that reduce food waste while expanding food access, sustainability solutions can be leveraged to power social, economic, and environmental prosperity.

Empowering our employees

Intuit employees are key contributors to our climate efforts, and we're committed to building sustainability into our employee experience and workspaces. Our Well-Being for Life program includes reimbursements to employees up to $1,300 annually for sustainability-related purchases, ranging from e-bikes to solar panels for their homes.

In addition, Intuit is working to make it easy to purchase more sustainable office supplies and electronics, by highlighting less carbon-intense options.

Creating a sustainable workplace

We're committed to creating a sustainable workplace that encourages our employees to thrive and brings us closer to a net-zero future. Intuit campuses offer sustainability-driven menus, ongoing waste diversion efforts, and an increasing amount of sustainable commuter programs that encourage low-carbon options like public transit. We recently opened a new LEED Platinum building on our Mountain View, California campus that showcases energy efficiency, on-site renewable energy, and waste conservation features.
