Corporate Responsibility
At PwC, our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems.
We have the power to create significant change. Across the network our contributions to local communities and environmental efforts have made an impact.
Our global community framework focuses on working together to build Resilient Communities. We are contributing to our communities so that they can respond to their specific local needs now and in the future. We are helping equip them with the digital skills of the future, build their resilience to the physical impacts of climate change (e.g., extreme weather events), and engage in initiatives that enable people to access opportunities more equitably.
At PwC, we are empowering our people to share their skills, knowledge and experience, so that we can extend our impact to support communities - beyond the work we do every day with our clients. We are sharing our knowledge with change makers, such as NGOs, educational institutions, and social, micro, and small enterprises.
To date, we have reached over 25.3 million people, NGOs, and social, micro and small enterprises through our community projects. In FY25, over 54,000 PwC volunteers contributed to community initiatives that reached 1.6 million beneficiaries and are enabling communities to respond to specific local needs now and in the future.
PwC Kazakhstan, as a part of global community framework is evolving with a clear focus to work together to build Resilient Communities.
The Resilient Communities focus areas are:
- New World. New Skills
- Equitable access to opportunity
- Charity instead Gifts
- Climate
New World. New Skills
This global initiative intended to support more people to have the chance to learn, work and participate in the digital age. We direct our efforts to reskilling and upskilling people for the digital world in places where the need is particularly acute and where PwC’s expertise can contribute the most, such as financial literacy or cybersecurity.
Annually, our employees deliver lectures and workshops at the schools, universities and orphanages all over Kazakhstan, totalling over 200 academic hours per year.
Equitable access to opportunity
We aim to support organizations and activities that help people access opportunities more equitably, particularly in underserved areas.
In PwC Kazakhstan for more than the decade we work with such organisation as ITeachMe competence development centre for people with disabilities, ARDI (Association of Parents of Children with Disabilities), The DARA Fund - an organization dedicated to addressing various social issues, often focusing on areas such as education, health, and socio-economic development (for more than 10 years our colleagues take part in Mentorship program for children from Orphanages) and many more.
Charity instead Gifts
We aim to redirect the annual budget for client gifts to those in need. For more than a decade, PwC Kazakhstan has been supporting various organizations through this program, such as the Children's Onco-Rehabilitation Center, the ARDI Center for Creative and Physical Development of Children with Disabilities, the Center for People with Visual Impairments, the Support Center for HIV-Infected Children 'Жизнь вопреки', private fund “28 петель” and many others.
Climate
We aim to empower communities to reduce their climate impact, mitigate or adapt to the physical risks of the changing climate, and build resilience for the future.
In September 2020 PwC announced a network wide commitment to net zero GHG emissions, with near-term science-based targets set for 2030 in line with a 1.5-degree scenario to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, in accordance with the Paris Agreement. In July 2021, our near-term emissions reduction targets were independently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In January 2025, we set long-term science-based targets for 2050 in line with a 1.5-degree scenario which were independently validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
