Our responsibility to the planet and its people: A shared commitment
At Deloitte, our purpose is to make an impact that matters for our clients, our people and the communities where we live and work. With Deloitte’s purpose and shared values as our north star, Deloitte’s WorldImpact programmes focus the collective energy and skills of more than 415,000 people globally, and more than 2000 people in New Zealand, to drive impact in their communities and society.
WorldImpact
As society faces increasingly complex challenges, we believe it is our responsibility to lead the way as we find solutions that help shape the world for the better. Through WorldImpact—our umbrella portfolio of initiatives focused on making a tangible impact on some of society’s biggest challenges in the areas of education and skills-building, climate change and sustainability, and diversity, equity and inclusion—we are helping to create a more sustainable and equitable world.
WorldClass: creating opportunities through education and skills development
It is estimated that millions of people around the world are held back from achieving their full potential. Investing in education and skills is the foundation of opportunity and progress and creates better futures for all.
Deloitte Global’s WorldClass ambition is to reach 100 million people by 2030 through programmes and collaborations with leading educational organisations around the world, investing our people's time, providing volunteers, and donating to support millions of students, teachers, and education leaders worldwide.
Deloitte New Zealand supports Deloitte Global's WorldClass ambition through initiatives, community partnerships and signature programmes, including Deloitte Grow. Our social collaborations enable our people to give back to their communities in meaningful and impactful ways.
We leverage the skills and talents of our people through volunteerism and pro bono engagements to make an impact that matters, and have set a goal of positively impacting over 25,000 Kiwi lives by 2030.

WorldClimate: addressing our environmental impact
Mitigating the impacts of the climate crisis can be a monumental task. But together, we can drive positive change. Deloitte's WorldClimate strategy drives responsible climate choices within our organisation and beyond.
Deloitte is committed to taking measurable, decisive action on climate change, empowering our people and engaging our broader ecosystem to help create solutions that can facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy. The opportunity to create a more sustainable world is at our collective fingertips, and we should all ask ourselves, “What climate action should I take today?”
Guided by our purpose to make an impact that matters, Deloitte people are accelerating our efforts toward a more sustainable, equitable and prosperous Aotearoa.

ALL IN: fostering a culture of belonging
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 ALL IN diversity, equity and inclusion strategy that not only empowers our people to be themselves, but educates and leads by example through inclusive leadership.
Our three pillars of inclusion include: achieving gender balance, advancing LGBT+ inclusion and supporting mental health.
Purpose-driven organisations not only create enormous value for society as a whole, but also thrive themselves, consistently demonstrating higher growth and profit than their counterparts. Deloitte’s record over the past year is testament to that.
