Marketplace

Trust, quality, and transparency in the capital markets

We support the capital markets in which the companies we serve participate, and upon which communities and individuals rely. While we take pride in the fact that our services add great value to our clients, we think it is also very important that we help to improve transparency, trust, and consistency in business processes.

Partnerships

We demonstrate leadership through our participation in significant organizations that are playing a positive role in promoting corporate responsibility. Some of our partnerships include:

• United Nations Global Compact

• World Resources Institute

• World Business Council for Sustainable Development

• Carbon Disclosure Project

• Clinton Global Initiative

Aligning with our suppliers

We believe we have an opportunity to leverage our purchasing power to influence social and environmental performance in our supply chain. A strong supplier diversity program and our Vendor Code of Conduct are the key components to our efforts.

Acting with integrity

Our position as a leader in our profession affords us an incredible opportunity to make a difference in the marketplace. To promote trust in the marketplace, we must ourselves be trusted.

• Our Code of Conduct

  Our Code includes our core values and direction on ethical decision making and it reinforces our commitment to operating with independence.

• Maintaining independence

  Maintaining independence gives our clients, the regulators and the public confidence that we act with integrity and objectivity.

Developing innovative services

We see innovation as an integral part of delivering effective services to our clients and positioning ourselves as thought leaders.

• Accelerating innovation

  Innovation serves our people by helping them reach their full potential as problem-solvers and entrepreneurs, and helps us build an organization of leaders at all levels. Employee engagement is a critical component of our innovation approach at PwC.

• Providing sustainability solutions

  We strongly believe that, with the right sustainability strategy in place, businesses can do the right thing for the community and the world while also growing the bottom line.

Fostering thought leadership

We actively share our point of view on issues that are important to our clients and the marketplace. Our thought leadership takes many forms, including papers and digital content, CEO roundtables, webcasts, and blogs.

Public policy

We seek to play a constructive role in public policy development by developing and implementing strategies to engage policymakers and proactively shape public policy that impacts the firm.

Beyond the responsibility we have to each and every client, we play an important role in the greater marketplace and have an opportunity to contribute to the common good. Through our core values and the way we operate and serve our clients, our people, and our communities with quality every day, PwC makes a positive impact.
