Diversity & inclusion at PwC
The people of PwC inspire us to take on issues where we can make a difference. That includes doing our best to stand for inclusion and opportunities for all. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and we are committed to go further and faster and help others on their journey.
As a purpose-led and values-driven organization, we’re using the talent and resources of PwC to be a voice for change—and we know that to be a leader, we must continue to do better ourselves. We also know that we must be bolder and even more intentional in taking action on these issues that matter to our people, affect our communities and permeate the business community.
If we are to live up to our purpose to build trust in society and solve important problems, we must work to support equity of opportunity at all levels. Not only is our Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) work an extension of our values, there is ample evidence that shows a diverse workforce and deliberate inclusion efforts drive better outcomes, which elevates business growth and the broader economic development of our society that benefits everyone.
Beyond accelerating progress within our firm, we have a responsibility to help drive change in society and within the business community.
Access Your Potential is our continuing commitment to build experiences that ignite a passion for technology among diverse students in underserved communities. We are adding a focus on students of institutions that serve racially/ethnically diverse students, like Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions and community colleges, helping these graduates be fully prepared for the workforce.
We co-founded and launched CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™—the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace—with 175 signatories in 2017. Today, more than 1,200 CEOs of the world’s leading companies representing over 85 industries along with 90+ university presidents and approximately 13M employees and students, have signed the pledge and are actively creating change.
Through the PwC Charitable Foundation, in June 2020, we donated $250K each to The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., Dream Corps., The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation and The Center for Policing Equity and matched up to $1,000 of our peoples’ individual donations to these four organizations. Additionally, we supported our people as they started crowdfunding campaigns for social justice organizations. Together, we have collectively donated $3.7M. Additionally, during this same period we gave $280K in total to 28 HBCUs to help support their tech enablement efforts.
Our strategy for sustainable change within the firm is rooted in supporting our peoples’ career journey and we are constantly evolving in order to better meet their unique needs. We know there isn’t an easy or “one size fits all” solution, but our desire is to help support each person so that they can manage professional and personal commitments in the way that works best for them and their families.
