Public policy

2023 Global Impact Report

Building better futures

The unique breadth of Deloitte’s businesses, and the perspectives gained by working with clients, through our people and through society, informs our policy activities. The Deloitte Global Public Policy team works collectively with the Deloitte Global Strategy and Deloitte Global Innovation teams to inform and amplify Deloitte’s broader strategic and business interests, while demonstrating our unwavering commitment to the public interest.

The Deloitte Global Public Policy team executes our policy agenda by engaging meaningfully across the stakeholder ecosystem—advocating that business, government, and society work together to make a positive impact for people, the planet, and prosperity.

Some of our key policy focus areas include:

• Championing the long-term health and sustainability of the planet through reporting of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information; addressing the complexity of a just transition; and mobilizing finance towards a low-carbon future;
• Underscoring policies and other levers to help enable workplace gender equality;
• Anticipating the future of regulation in an era of exponential technological advancement, including artificial intelligence; and
• Supporting a holistic approach to expanding the GDP framework and measuring wealth in a way that considers human, natural, and social capital, as well as financial capital, with tools capable of validating progress to shape decision-making at all stages of the policy process.

Deloitte people help advance our public policy agenda by working with key stakeholders within economies and supranational organizations, including the:

• Group of 20 (G20), including the Business 20 (B20);
• Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including Business at OECD (BIAC);
• Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC);
• International Organization of Employers (IOE);
• German Marshall Fund (GMF); and
• Social Progress Imperative (SPI).

The Global Public Policy program is complemented by a community of Deloitte firm public policy programs. Together with business leaders and other key internal groups, Deloitte Global Public Policy coordinates public policy insights, activities, and engagement, amplifying impact and influence.
