Corporate Responsibility is a core strategic issue for Deloitte. To achieve our business objectives our business must operate to the highest ethical standards, deliver outstanding quality and value to our clients, value and support all our people, contribute positively to our community and minimise the environmental impact of our business activities.
At Deloitte, we recognise and embrace our responsibility to act in ways that have a positive impact on society and which are fully congruent with our values and ethics.
We recognise that our impact on society is extensive. We provide professional services and advice to a wide range of leading businesses, to government departments and to public sector organisations. We publish influential studies and thought leadership papers in a wide range of fields. We are a major employer of the brightest graduate talent and we invest substantially in the training and development of our people. Many of our people go on to achieve positions of influence within the UK’s biggest employers.
Our people are strongly engaged in corporate responsibility issues and are highly supportive. Many of our people make a personal commitment of time to the programmes we have in place around ethics, community investment, recruitment, sustainability and diversity.
In short, we fully recognise that our activities can have significant social impacts on business and society and we work hard to ensure that we optimise the positive effects and to minimise adverse impacts on the environment.
“Responsibility is an area of strategic focus for our firm. We cannot achieve our objective to be recognised as the pre-eminent and most trusted professional services firm without holding integrity, responsibility and sustainability at the very centre of our business.” John Connolly, Senior Partner and Chief Executive
