Our Social Impact

Deloitte’s purpose is to make an impact that matters. This drives us to act on the increasingly complex challenges society faces today. We are committed to responsible business practices, serving the public interest and working to create a better, more sustainable world for people, our clients and the planet.

Societal Innovation 

As technology reshapes the global economy, access to opportunity is becoming more complex and uncertain. Societal Innovation brings together people and technology to create pathways to progress - empowering talent to transform potential into future-ready skills, equipping the social sector with the capabilities to better reach communities, and convening ecosystems to scale solutions that benefit society.

Net-zero by 2040

As the global economy progresses towards a low-carbon future, Deloitte is working towards net-zero by creating pathways to progress to enable and scale this transition. Deloitte has committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2040, as measured at the aggregate, network-wide level. We are working together with Deloitte people, clients, suppliers, and ecosystem collaborators to transform our operations, reduce the environmental impact of Deloitte's business, and drive change across the network.

Fostering a culture of Inclusion

We want our people to feel confident in being themselves—in and out of the workplace. To feel they belong. To do this, we lean into our inclusion strategy that not only empowers our people to be themselves but educates and leads by example through inclusive leadership.

At Deloitte, our Social Impact ambition is to enhance access to education, skills and employment for underserved communities across Ireland and globally. This underpins everything that we do.

At Deloitte, one of our Shared Values is to ‘Lead the Way’. We’re committed to creating opportunity and leading the way to a more sustainable world. To enable this commitment, our employees are encouraged to volunteer throughout all stages of their careers.

We partner with leading educational organisations and charities across Ireland to provide year-round skills-based, community volunteering opportunities for our people.  We also support our senior leaders in giving their time and skills by joining charity boards.

At Deloitte Ireland we have three anchor fundraisers per year: 

  • Daffodil Day in support of the Irish Cancer Society 
  • Shine a Light Night with Focus Ireland 
  • Saint Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal 

We also support our Inclusion Networks to make annual donations to causes aligned to their network priorities.

Deloitte have partnered with Rethink Ireland to create the €500,000 People’s Impact Fund which support projects that aim to promote equity of opportunity and access to employment, by developing the employability skills of young adults at a disadvantage and/or facilitating their employment.

Pro bono investments are part of Deloitte's commitment to leverage the collective intelligence and ambition of our people to help non-profit organisations develop innovative solutions to address their most critical issues and help drive transformational social outcomes.

If you are a charity that is interested in discussing potential pro bono work, please register interest here.

We want our people to feel empowered to make an impact that matters in their communities, whether that be through a Deloitte volunteering programme, pro bono work or a personal cause.

All Deloitte are asked to give a minimum 8 hours volunteering time per year to our Firm programmes.

Our people can also request 2 days volunteering leave per year for personal volunteering.

We make Firm contributions to our people’s personal fundraising efforts.

We collaborate across Deloitte member firms and sectors to create educational & skill building opportunities. Deloitte's global Social Impact ambition is to positively impact 100 million lives by 2030 (300,000 in Ireland) in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – SDG4 Quality Education and SDG8 Decent Work & Economic Growth.
