Corporate responsibility
Communities where we live and work
Our responsibility to the society at large is an area of strategic focus for our firm. That sense of responsibility begins with our core business strategy and extends to the way we interact with our clients, the people of Deloitte and the communities where we live and work.
Rik Vanpeteghem, CEO, Deloitte Belgium
Deloitte believes that all companies need to be inspired to go beyond the legal obligations in favour of society and environment. We are all part of a community where we live, work, hire people and interact with our stakeholders. By integrating the Corporate Responsibility (CR) concept into all operations, we aim to reconcile our economic and social ambitions.
Deloitte vision: Standard of Excellence
The Deloitte brand is supported by the organization's vision to be the Standard of Excellence. As part of this vision, Deloitte member firms have a long-term commitment to corporate responsibility and to being trusted industry advisors to businesses, communities, and governments around the world.
As part of that commitment, Deloitte member firms recognize that their impact on society arises from how they serve their private and public sector clients, and from their contributions to economic growth and social progress in the communities where people live and work.
A practical, focused, and integrated approach to corporate responsibility (CR)
The Deloitte member firm approach to CR emphasizes excellence and continuous improvement in three main areas:
- Responsible business practices in how the member firms are run and how they serve their clients
- Investing in the talent and diversity of the member firms' current and future workforce
- Commitment to local communities and shared global challenger
To be the standard of excellence requires a commitment to continuous learning and improvement in the understanding of business and society trends. Deloitte member firms aim to deepen and eploy this knowledge into the firms' own business decisions, the advice given to clients, and contributions to local and global initiatives for a better world.
