Citi remains committed to reducing the environmental footprint of our facilities around the world. We have approximately 200,000 employees working in close to 7,000 facilities in 97 countries. Our global operations gives us an opportunity to positively impact the communities where we live and work. Sustainability is a growing priority for our colleagues around the world, and we are channeling their enthusiasm by strengthening Citi’s sustainability culture, engaging our employees and integrating sustainable practices across the company.

Since 2001, Citi has been working to measure, manage and reduce the direct environmental impacts of our own operations. We track our environmental impacts through a centralized environmental management system and report annually on global energy use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions, water use, waste-to-landfill, and green building initiatives. Our efforts reduce our direct environmental impacts, cut costs, enhance work environments and productivity, and enable us to speak from a position of experience when our clients need support.

Our 2025 Operational Footprint Goals are our fourth set of such goals, which began in 2007 with our first set of GHG and water reduction goals. For this new set of goals, we are moving our baseline year to 2010 (from 2005) to align with the baseline year of the latest climate science and our Scope 1 & Scope 2 GHG emissions reduction target, which was developed to be consistent with the level of decarbonization required to keep global temperature increase to well below 2 degrees Celsius.
