The North Texas Green Team is a group of cross-functional Deloitte professionals who aim to make Deloitte a more sustainable place to work while empowering our fellow practitioners to take action on climate change and live more environmentally-conscious lives. For more information or to get involved, reach out to our North Texas Green Team at ntxgreenteam@deloitte.com.

In collaboration with New York University (NYU), Deloitte is launching Sustainability Simplified, designed to help you understand the sustainability, climate and equity challenges our clients are facing. This four-part series, led by Professor Tensie Whelan, NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business Director, will both engage and enlighten you. From an education on corporate sustainability trends and ESG strategy, to the basics of climate change and the implications for the global economy, to the return on sustainability investment by businesses - you’ll have the opportunity to dig into the science behind the climate crisis and the equity topics shaping the market today.

At Deloitte, sustainability is one of the key focus areas for activating our purpose. If we each take an individual climate action today, we can make collective positive change in our communities and be a part of living our purpose commitments.
