Sustainability: Empowering clients for lasting impact

Partnering for scalable innovation
Our commitment to innovation is amplified through strategic partnerships. In Deals and Tax and Legal Services, we’ve teamed up with Harvey, an advanced AI platform tailored to our needs.

Consulting and Risk Services’ API Maturity Assessment tool
To strengthen competitiveness in Request for proposal(RFP) bids, the Consulting and Risk Services team developed an Application Programming Interface (API) maturity assessment tool that evaluates client APIs against key principles and presents results through an interactive dashboard.
-
Key thought leaderships
Throughout the year, our Africa team has developed multiple thought leadership pieces that have enriched client conversations and deepened strategic engagement. These insights are timely and focus on hot topics such as AI implementation, business model reinvention, sustainability practices, and building trust in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Our financial performance
This year was shaped by a complex and evolving global landscape. Despite significant challenges—including tariff changes, currency volatility, and the impact of global megatrends—PwC Africa achieved a 3% increase in revenue compared to the previous year. Performance varied across our lines of service and territories, influenced by external pressures. Despite, these headwinds, our teams remained focused on delivering high-quality services and creating sustained value.

Governance, quality and risk
Strong governance enables us to uphold our commitment to integrity, build trust with our stakeholders and deliver value for our clients. Delivering quality is the foundation of our stakeholder relationships, the source of our reputation and the key to our success. Robust risk management is fundamental to sustaining the trust and confidence of our clients, regulators and stakeholders.
