Trust is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to ensuring stakeholders’ confidence dates back to 1845, when Deloitte was founded to help build trust in the private sector by creating a transparent way to understand companies’ financial performance.
As the largest professional services network serving organizations in nearly every industry and region around the world, Deloitte understands that trust is critical to clients’ businesses—as well as to ours. We strengthen Deloitte clients’ and society’s trust in us by keeping our Purpose and Shared Values at the center of the work we do each day. We embed effective governance—encompassing oversight, challenge, and support—throughout our organization.
Strong, consistent governance helps enable us to uphold ethical standards, serve the public interest, build trust, and deliver on that trust. As a purpose-driven organization, Deloitte is guided by our commitment to responsible business practices which includes being thoughtful about the decisions we make about who we work with and the nature of the work we do. In addition, Deloitte’s Global Principles of Business Conduct outline the commitments that each of us make based on our core belief that, at Deloitte, ethics and integrity are fundamental and not negotiable.
Bringing our stakeholders’ expectations to life
Deloitte stakeholders expect us to operate a responsible and sustainable business, behave ethically, and manage and mitigate risks.
Clients turn to Deloitte for sophisticated business strategies, breakthrough solutions, and innovative services. They trust us to address complex challenges, conduct high-quality audits, maintain independence, and safeguard their sensitive information.
Our people count on us to foster an inclusive and equitable workplace, support their health and well-being, and provide meaningful, engaging career opportunities that can enable them to make an impact through their work.
Society expects us to act in the public interest. This includes how we help promote ethics and integrity, help eradicate corruption, advance sustainability, and provide skill-building opportunities to those within and outside of Deloitte.
We measure and report on our progress to help Deloitte clients, our people, and society to evaluate our impact. Our reporting also shows how putting our Purpose at the center of everything we do is inextricably linked with Deloitte’s ability to deliver sustainable, long-term value, year after year.
