Fueling a culture of community impact

Amidst our societal challenges – from access to quality education and healthcare to cultivating inclusion and diversity in the workplace – we remain dedicated to driving meaningful change for a prosperous future.

Through our programs, initiatives, and focus on creating educational and skills-building opportunities, we aim to empower individuals and communities to thrive. Understanding that collaboration is key to addressing complex issues, we partner with public and private organizations, clients, and other stakeholders to develop impactful solutions. Together, we are powerful.  

The #iVolunteer movement, created to inspire a culture of volunteering within Deloitte Middle East, is making a tangible difference in communities across the region. While volunteering has always been embedded in the Deloitte Middle East ethos, with year-round opportunities for all professionals accessible through a dedicated volunteer hub platform, the introduction of Impact Month in FY24 has created even greater momentum for volunteerism.

In FY24, Impact Month offered over 25 volunteering opportunities to Deloitte Middle East professionals in a single month, engaging hundreds of professionals both in-person and virtually. The initiative impacted over 2,500 individuals across Middle East communities, fostering growth and building better futures.

An internal Deloitte survey revealed that over 70% of Deloitte Middle East employees feel empowered to contribute to the company's commitment to societal impact, showcasing the #iVolunteer movement's extensive influence. 

These experiences from our professionals illustrate the profound impact of their volunteer efforts:

#iVolunteered to lead the Financial Accounting program for university students. “This experience has become a source of inspiration for my teams, encouraging them to contribute their expertise to educational initiatives and pass on their knowledge to the next generation of professionals.” - Munther Al Bandak, Palestine.

#iVolunteered to drive change in society through our Deloitte Accelerator for Social Innovation (DASI) CR program. “My experience working on this initiative was inspiring.

The #iVolunteer movement exemplifies the power of collective action, creating ripples of positive change that extend beyond immediate communities and fostering a culture of empathy and responsibility.
