Through Deloitte’s Societal Innovation strategy, we are helping to equip people with the technology to create pathways to progress—helping empower talent to transform potential into future-ready skills, providing the social sector with the capabilities to better reach communities, and convening ecosystems to scale solutions that benefit society. Across these three pathways, we are advancing Deloitte’s worldwide commitment to invest more than US$3 billion in societal impact initiatives over 10 years (FY2023-FY2032).

In addition, Deloitte firms continue to make an impact that matters through a wide range of pro bono work, volunteering, and charitable donations. Our Deloitte Foundations across our network act as focal points for our community activities, reinforcing and reflecting local societal impact priorities. This includes critical areas such as developing the talent of the future through education and leadership development, as well as working closely with local non-profits and community organizations to amplify their impact and reach.

Through Deloitte’s investments and initiatives focused on creating skills-building opportunities, we are helping the future workforce to adapt and thrive in a technology-enabled economy.  

Deloitte Southeast Asia is collaborating with SkillUp, an online learning and employment platform, to help empower learners with in-demand capabilities across high-growth areas such as AI, digital careers, and essential soft skills, combined with access to internships, employer networks, and career opportunities. As part of its AI education strategy, Deloitte US joined the White House Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education, and is investing in grants, pro bono support, and collaboration opportunities to advance AI upskilling for students, teachers, and workers.

Deloitte is supporting nonprofits in their adoption of AI and digital tools to help accelerate their impact. As Deloitte’s technology alliances advance their support through funding and infrastructure investments, Deloitte practitioners serve as the strategic connector between the technology and the nonprofits to help provide solutions that are usable, impactful, and scalable. By building digital readiness across the ecosystem, we can help enable the benefits of technology to reach communities that need them. 

Deloitte Belgium developed the AI for Good Toolkit to help empower non-governmental organizations with AI knowledge. The toolkit helps make AI more accessible and relevant for nonprofits through use cases, concrete tools, and clear guidance they can apply in their day-to-day work. Deloitte Africa helped train staff from over 1,200 non-governmental organizations across five countries—including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zambia—equipping them with the skills to expand their reach, improve operational efficiency, and drive long-term community impact. 

While AI is poised to drive significant positive impact across society, the supportive ecosystem for “AI for social good”—including mentoring, cloud infrastructure, financial support, skilled talent, and networks for collaboration—remains underdeveloped. Deloitte is helping to ensure that societal innovation and ethical technology solutions can thrive and scale by bringing together experience and networks to build ecosystems. 

Deloitte US and Deloitte Africa are collaborating with Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the Social Entrepreneur Accelerator, which helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs with the tools, expertise, and resources to innovate and scale, blending Deloitte’s capabilities in digital transformation, strategy, and growth alongside AWS cloud and AI technology. Deloitte and AWS aim to support more than 500 entrepreneurs globally. 

In addition, we continue to seek out and support young leaders developing tech-driven social solutions. For example, Deloitte Australia partnered with LiteHaus International, a nonprofit facilitating digital learning opportunities for children across Asia Pacific, to donate computers and establish digital technology labs in schools in Cambodia, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. ​

Advancing cities’ resilience and sustainability to help transform urban life

As rapid urbanization continues, there is a growing imperative for cities to expand in ways that champion resilience, sustainability, and innovation. Because urban areas generate most of the world’s economic output, they are central to solving global challenges, from developing more sustainable infrastructure to scaling new technologies. To help meet these urgent needs, the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Deloitte, Salesforce, and other organizations, launched Yes/Cities, an initiative designed to catalyze local innovation ecosystems and unlock economic opportunities.  

Yes/Cities connects governments, innovators, investors, corporates, and community stakeholders around a shared goal: identifying and scaling practical solutions to pressing urban challenges. Through localized innovation challenges and workshops, this global initiative helps to accelerate entrepreneurs through mentorship, technical support, access to capital, and cross-sector collaboration. By helping promising ideas achieve measurable scale, Yes/Cities works to advance sustainable technology, strengthen local economies, foster job creation, and build adaptable, resilient models that cities can adapt and scale. 

Building on its successful Yes/San Francisco pilot, over the past year Yes/Cities has expanded to Bengaluru, Boston, and Delhi. And this is just the beginning: by 2030, Yes/Cities aims to engage more than 1,000 entrepreneurs across more than 50 cities, accelerating breakthrough solutions and helping to strengthen innovation ecosystems around the world.
