The statement underscores PwC Cyprus' dedication to environmentally responsible decision-making, emphasizing its participation in RE100—a global initiative uniting businesses committed to exclusively using renewable electricity. The decision to transition to renewable energy underscores the organization's proactive role in promoting sustainable energy infrastructure, a crucial aspect of the ongoing fight against the climate crisis.

We believe it is not only a significant achievement for our organization but can also serve as a beacon for others in the sector, demonstrating the possibility and importance of moving towards more sustainable practices."
Proud of its active participation in the global movement for a sustainable and zero-emissions future, PwC remains steadfast in exploring innovative solutions to minimize its environmental impact. The organization sets ambitious targets, aiming to inspire similar actions across the sector.
