Corporate responsibility
You care deeply about the communities in which you live. So do we. At Ernst & Young, we recognize that we’re anchored in the wider communities in which we live and work, and that we have a great responsibility to help those communities grow and flourish.
We help you realize your vision for your community — your way. We leave it to you to get involved in a manner that’s meaningful to you, engages your passion and creativity, and enhances your career development. But we give you the support and tools to help — like our volunteerism website, non-profit board training, and an Americas-wide Community Engagement network — so that you are able to have a far greater impact personally.
Our commitment to education, entrepreneurship and the environment is an integral part of the way we do business and make a difference to our clients, the community and the environment. Here are just a few examples of our many community engagement efforts:
- We’re committed to providing you and your faculty with the tools and information you need to succeed in the business world through our unique Academic Resource Center (ARC). For example, the ARC recently rolled out a comprehensive curriculum related to IFRS, so faculty will be best prepared to teach you in this classroom about this important global topic.
- We’re committed to helping kids from underserved communities gain access to higher education. Nationwide, we bring math literacy to more than 5.1 million kids each week through the sponsorship of the PBS program Cyberchase.
- We support the development of entrepreneurs in lower-income countries through the Corporate Responsibility Fellows Program and recognize the accomplishments of small business owners with our Entrepreneur Of The Year Award.
- Within Ernst & Young, we’re working to go green. We’re the first in our industry to name a full-time Director of Environmental Sustainability dedicated to our own internal practices and we have hundreds of people who are leading EcoCare projects in their local offices.
At Ernst & Young, we’re committed to promoting business, social and economic progress in every country in which we operate. Visit our Corporate responsibility page to learn more about our community engagement activities.
