How PwC can help

ESG agenda

The pressure on sustainable entrepreneurship is increased by investors as well as by end customers and regulators. Therefore, companies need to take appropriate steps in their environmental and social sustainability (ESS). We will help you to set up an ESG strategy, non-financial reporting or decarbonisation plans.

Salary inequality

All over the world, companies realise that an inclusive working environment that motivates talented people while providing fair remuneration is the key to their business success. One of the ways how we help our clients to solve any salary inequality issues is the EQUAL-SALARY Certification.

Trustworthy business relationships

How to defend your company and verify huge piles of third-party data efficiently without lengthy manual checks? The Intelligent Risk Monitoring application performs the digitalisation and automation of company verification by searching through public registers and other available sources, using such information for risk assessment.

The retail and consumer packaged goods industry is going through some dynamic changes. This is caused by the changes to consumer preferences, fast technology development, demographic changes and also by the emphasis on sustainability. In order to be profitable, entrepreneurs are forced to adapt their business models to such changes. At PwC, we help leading global as well as local clients from the retail and consumer packaged goods industry to face these challenges successfully.
