Two years ago we established the Global communities programme to harness the collective energy and passion of our people across the globe—building on the fact that many have developed strong relationships and connections within their local communities. Global communities brings a central and collaborative focus to the many diverse contributions our people make in their community—whether it is giving time, resources, skills or money.
We are proud of being able to give our people the opportunity to explore their interest in wanting to work in partnership with their local community. Becoming more deeply involved with diverse communities also helps us broaden our own perspectives, deliver innovation, access fresh markets, manage risk better, and recruit from a wider pool of talent. Research also shows that consumers increasingly want to feel associated with organisations and brands that share their values and social aspirations.
As an influential business organisation and member of global society, PricewaterhouseCoopers has a longheld commitment to making a positive difference to the world in which we operate. We believe we have a great story to tell.
