The changing business environment has also affected society's views of how companies should contribute to their communities. Professionals, clients and the public alike expect Deloitte member firms to cultivate healthy business environments by generating jobs, building skills and participating in solutions to address issues with local communities.

Around the world, Deloitte member firms demonstrate corporate citizenship through active involvement in international and local policy and economic development, skills training and educational programs, and other philanthropic and community relations activities. We believe these are inherent responsibilities of all multinational organizations.

Deloitte member firms aim to promote responsible globalization and thriving local economies by collaborating with others on shared local and global challenges.

• Supporting local communities
  Deloitte member firms have a long tradition of actively supporting the communities where their professionals live and work. Each year thousands of Deloitte employees around the world participate in various activities to support their communities.
• Helping solve shared global challenges
  Deloitte member firms also participate in solutions to shared global challenges through organizations such as the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Our leaders contribute to discussions of how businesses can manage their impacts in a responsible manner.
