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.
