Stories 2020. For Good
In 2020 Mazars wants to increase its focus on sustainability, so it naturally becomes part of everyday life.
In collaboration with clients and stakeholders we have gathered good examples of sustainability, which we will present during 2020 on our website. There is a different focus on each story, but what they all have in common is making a difference, and we believe this deserves to be shared.

Reducing our environmental impact
In a world where climate change threatens the very existence of life, every individual and organisation must actively play their part in limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C.

At Mazars, we are strongly committed to reducing our environmental impact using a strategy that is guided by climate science. We have placed climate action at the core of how we work, striving to embed sustainability throughout our value chain.
