Living our Purpose

As a people business, we want to be an organisation where employees have the opportunity to achieve their professional and personal goals, ensuring that their professional contributions make a difference. Attracting people who are a value fit is essential to empower our talent. Our diverse workforce is brought together by our shared values, which form the DNA of Deloitte and empower them to live their own Purpose. At Deloitte, we invest in the development and growth of our talent, giving them opportunities, and the skills they need to prepare them for Industry 4.0—the rise of network-based, data-driven, and autonomous technologies that blur the line between the physical and the digital world. These skills are an asset for futureproofing their career, adding value to the economy.

As an organisation, we have a major responsibility to society. We are committed to contributing to a better life together through social engagement. We focus our efforts on 3 pillars:

• Education, Skills, Diversity & Inclusion;
• Entrepreneurship;
• Sustainability

The Deloitte Foundation enables us to share knowledge with social organisations and NGOs, such as 19 Coding School, Fund Isaan, Vlajo/Les Jeunes entreprises, and Close the Gap. Our Mobility@Deloitte programme was launched to help us build a better world and will enable us to reduce our CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2021. These are just a few of the many initiatives that we have launched to make a positive impact on society, which also help us contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, such as climate action, sustainable cities and communities, and decent work and economic growth. We assume our responsibility as an organisation by stimulating our people and thereby setting new standards.

Through cooperation with our clients and partners, we want to further promote the need for meaning, or having a Purpose. Clients choose us because our values match and we also select whom we work with, finding a value fit. We proactively think about the ethical, social, and societal consequences of the transformations our clients achieve with our help. After all, Deloitte’s young workforce (average age of 32 years) attaches importance to the role that organisations can play in broader society around issues that have a real impact, such as the consequences of robotisation and the future of work.
