Creating value through responsible business
PwC recognises the important responsibility we bear as providers of assurance, tax and advisory services to the business community. As professional advisors, we promote responsible and transparent business practices and our ambition is to act as a role model in this area. We provide extra care to the marketplace by maintaining the highest ethical standards; following our Code of Conduct; acting fairly towards suppliers; delivering sustainable client service and sharing our thought leadership.
From a CR perspective, building a supportive, diverse and engaging workplace is simply the right thing to do. But it's also essential if a business wishes to nurture a high-performance corporate culture. Equipping our people with the skills to do their jobs effectively and investing in training and development is also a key area of our focus, along with well-being.
Our ambition is to raise future leaders with a real interest in all aspects of CR. The way we treat and take care of our people is an essential part of how to fulfil this ambition.
Many PwC firms around the world are working to develop more environmentally-efficient business practices for their own operations – so are we. However, our greatest potential for influence is to impact the environment positively through our work with clients.
We manage our environmental footprint by understanding and then mitigating our greatest impacts. We have integrated our environmental strategy with our everyday operations, putting environmental policy in place and engaging our people in environmental issues.
In this respect, the following is in place:
All the activities that PwC undertakes as a business and as individuals have an impact on the communities in which we operate. Our responsibility is to ensure that our activities support a strong and thriving community. We engage our employees in community projects and encourage them to think of those in need by providing them with various opportunities to help others through PwC.
Sharing our knowledge with the community is one of the most effective ways that PwC can help.
In March 2010, PwC established a Foundation Fund in Slovakia, managed by the Pontis Foundation. Through it, it supports projects by non-profit organizations and self-governments.
