The Mexican Philanthropy Center (CEMEFI) granted Galaz, Yamazaki, Ruiz Urquiza, S.C., the Deloitte member firm in Mexico, this award recognizing its commitment to activities such as education, culture, sports and health that have a positive impact on the social environment.

Arturo García Bello, the Deloitte partner leading this effort, said that the firm was very proud for this distinction. The commitment of the Deloitte people is fundamental to support humane initiatives oriented towards the common good.  He added that more than half of the companies that received this award in previous years are clients of Deloitte.

The activities in 2005 included the implementation of a “Sense of Belonging” program that was acknowledged as best practice by the Mexican Association of Human Resource Directors. The program includes initiatives, such as: The Health Month, The Cultural Week, Cultural Field Trips, and Deloitte’s Annual Get-Together Race. 

Deloitte orchestrated the efforts of clients, vendors and NGOs to support the community for the 2005 IMPACT Day, uniting 1,200 volunteers from nine different offices in the country that enthusiastically carried out activities mainly directed to preserve the environment, promote health, and encourage education.

Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, a Swiss Verein, its member firms, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu is an organization of member firms around the world devoted to excellence in providing professional services and advice, focused on client service through a global strategy executed locally in nearly 150 countries. With access to the deep intellectual capital of 120,000 people worldwide, Deloitte delivers services in four professional areas—audit, tax, consulting, and financial advisory services—and serves more than one-half of the world’s largest companies, as well as large national enterprises, public institutions, locally important clients, and successful, fast-growing global growth companies. Services are provided by each member firm and not by the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Verein. For regulatory and other reasons, certain member firms do not provide services in all four professional areas.

Each of the member firms is a separate and independent legal entity operating under the names “Deloitte,” “Deloitte & Touche,” “Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu,” or other related names.
