Social impact is the cornerstone of our corporate responsibility strategy. We believe in empowering our people by building a trusted space for them to thrive in, and the community through our valued community contributions.
The PwC Singapore Foundation makes holistic contributions to the community, including general and skills-based volunteering, financial donations and in-kind donations.Our commitment on capacity development and upskilling, is also demonstrated through our global ambitions.
Wellness
The wellbeing of our people is paramount to us. We believe that our people must be well physically, mentally and in all other aspects in order to bring their best selves to work. It is therefore important that we are driven by a holistic wellbeing approach focusing on these five pillars: emotional-mental, social, physical, financial and environmental.
Our range of wellness initiatives are centred on providing greater access to wellbeing-related support and resources for our people, so that they can be empowered to take charge of their personal and professional wellbeing with confidence.
Be Well, Work Well
Wellness workshops: ABCs of wellness
In 2023, we kickstarted our inaugural series of monthly wellness workshops, we called it the ABCs of wellness, designed to introduce key dimensions of wellbeing to our people through creative and experiential formats. From art therapy to piloxing and learning how to manage emotions, our workshops provide mindful breaks to our people to hit pause, refresh and reset.

Inclusion and diversity
We are at our best when we bring together diverse experiences and perspectives. To leverage the benefits of our diverse community of solvers, we embrace and encourage differences and help our people actively develop the skills to work and lead inclusively.
The PwC Singapore Foundation
Established in 2019, the PwC Singapore Foundation aims to strengthen its community contributions through the causes it supports - education, disability and elderly inclusion.
Volunteering initiatives
We make valuable contributions to the community through some of our campaigns and initiatives named below. The programmes highlighted below are our key volunteering initiatives.
General volunteering
We partner with social service agencies such as Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), YMCA of Singapore and SUN-DAC to drive inclusion of persons with disabilities in our society. Our volunteers befriend and go on weekly activities with some beneficiaries of these social organisations.
Since November 2022, we have collaborated with YMCA of Singapore to befriend and guide individuals with special needs through various programmes like their weekly nature hikes and art challenge workshops. In total, over 100 of our people have participated in 50 sessions (and counting), and bridged meaningful connections with new friends across diverse abilities.
Skills-based volunteering that enables digital upskilling
One of the biggest barriers to inclusivity is the digital divide. Responding to this, our New world. New skills. initiative aims to bridge this skills gap and enable a future-ready workforce.
In 2022, we collaborated with HCSA Highpoint where our people contributed a total of 150 hours over a period of six months in developing custom content for and providing digital upskilling to ex-offenders. Monthly workshops were organised to cover various digital topics. This bespoke programme has since upskilled over 30 elderly ex-offenders and has enabled HCSA Highpoint to receive external investment to build an IT lab to further their social cause.
Providing career mentorship to the next generation of talent
In 2022 followed by 2023, we engaged over 50 tertiary students from underserved communities through Singapore Indian Development Association’s (SINDA) signature mentorship programme. These students are recipients of SINDA’s bursary award with ambitions to venture into various business fields. Over the course of four months, our people supported their growth through structured mentoring sessions that explored various personal and professional competencies to prepare them for the job market.
