SEEK is preparing for impacts of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon future, whilst working to minimise SEEK’s environmental impacts.
For more information, refer to SEEK’s FY2025 Climate Statement and Climate Methodology.
SEEK's Climate Change Strategy
SEEK’s Climate Change Strategy has two main objectives:
Climate resilience: adapting to a changing climate
Climate risks and opportunities
Business adaptation action
Supporting an orderly and just transition
Minimising emissions: mitigating SEEK’s impacts on changing climate
Operational emissions
Smarter climate choices for our people
Supplier engagement and responsible procurement
Emission reduction targets
SEEK is committed to reducing its environmental impact and achieving net zero emissions in the long term.
In FY2025, SEEK achieved its interim target to reduce its emissions across scope 1, 2 and 3 by 40% by 2025 on a FY2022 baseline.
SEEK’s emissions reduction targets are:
Short-term FY2030 target: Reduce emissions by 50% across all emissions scopes by FY2030 on the FY2025 re-baseline.*
Long-term net zero FY2050 target: Reduce emissions by 90% across all emissions scopes by FY2050 on the FY2025 re-baseline and invest in carbon removal credits for residual emissions from hard-to-abate sources (up to 10%).**
*In FY2025, SEEK re-baselined due to changes in its reporting boundary. For more information on SEEK’s FY2025 re-baseline refer to SEEK’s FY2025 Climate Statement.
**The SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard requires organisations to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by at least 90% by 2050. Companies may use carbon removal credits to neutralise any hard to abate residual emissions, but this is limited to no more than 10% of total emissions. SEEK therefore currently intends to invest in carbon removals for a maximum of 10% of its residual emissions from hard-to-abate sources.
Refer to SEEK’s FY2025 Climate Statement for more detail on SEEK's emissions reduction targets, including key assumptions and dependencies relating to the targets, and the ‘Basis of preparation’ section which sets out, among other things, that Sidekicker (which was re-acquired by SEEK on 30 May 2025) is currently excluded from SEEK’s targets.
