Governance

PwC is a global network of separate firms, owned and operating locally in countries around the world.

This structure provides PwC firms with the flexibility to operate simultaneously as the most local and the most global of businesses. Click here to find out more about how we’re structured, how we conduct business and govern ourselves. Corporate responsibility at PwC is similarly governed at global and local levels and it runs right to the top of local and network leadership.

Responsibility for local corporate responsibility ultimately rests with each Territory Senior Partner.  At the network level it is led by the Global Corporate Responsibility Board (GCRB), which is chaired by Moira Elms, a member of the firm’s Network Executive Team. 

Our global corporate responsibility team works with local teams in each territory to provide support where required. These corporate responsibility representatives collaborate with others in similar roles across the world.

Leading from the top, locally and globally
