Impact Every Day

By focusing on making an Impact Every Day, we support our people to make an impact that matters year-round, addressing the issues that are most important for our society and local communities.

Driven by the Deloitte purpose – making an impact that matters – our employees help the communities and businesses face the challenges, strengthen partnerships, and implement important social initiatives. Deloitte people invest their time, skills, and knowledge to make a positive impact where it is needed most.

Apart from the initial task of solving specific challenges and problems, corporate volunteering has also many benefits for employees themselves.

It is important for our people to take up corporate volunteering because:
  • People want to change the world for the better. Volunteering makes you feel as a contributor to serious positive changes.
  • Remote work results in lack of informal communication. Common volunteering is a great team-building tool where employees have an opportunity to talk not only business.
  • It is pleasant to do common good things; it improves the wellbeing of the employees.
  • Corporate volunteering endeavors make the employees feel as if participating in a common cause, which refers to the Deloitte purpose - making an impact that matters.
  • Preparation of and participation in volunteer projects provide an opportunity to develop, reveal one`s skills and experience to others, as well as exercise leadership.
According to the approach of Deloitte to measuring the social impact, we classify the following volunteering categories involving our employees:
  • Traditional volunteering encompasses projectswhere employees invest their time but where no professional skills are required (donating blood, participating in charity events).
  • Skill-based volunteering is a series of projects implemented on behalf of the company requiring professional skills which are not services usually subject to charging (e.g., participation in the board of a not-for-profit organization, a university lecture, or mentorship in a case contest).
  • Pro bono projects are professional services rendered by us to not-for-profit organizations and state institutions free of charge or with a significant discount (low bono), for example, free consulting for a donor organization or a survey for a business association.

In the fiscal year 2022, the involvement of the Deloitte people in corporate volunteering were almost three-fold compared to 2021 in terms of time spent. This was due to an increase in the number of social and pro bono projects since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine.

For instance, Deloitte Ukraine provides assurance services (on a pro bono basis) to UNITED24, an initiative launched by the President of Ukraine as the main platform for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine. Our specialists quarterly review the consolidated financial statements of the ministries in charge of efficient use of donations.

At the same time, since the first days of the full-fledged war our experts prepared analytics useful for Ukrainians who were forced to flee their homes, seeking refuge abroad.
