Corporate responsibility - sustainability in a changing world - Ernst & Young - United States

Corporate responsibility: sustainability in a changing world

Corporate responsibility is integral to our business strategy, our values and our day-to-day operations. It’s how we understand our impact on the world around us and the sum total of our actions.

It’s our role in creating a sustainable context — in other words, a thriving community able to protect its environment, educate its children and become prosperous by fostering innovation and generating new businesses.

The communities around us have a profound impact on the future of Ernst & Young and our clients, and that is why we invest in them through these four pillars of corporate responsibility:

Community engagement

As a talent-driven organization, our people and their skills are the best asset we can offer any community. Visit our Volunteer Wall of Fame to see how Ernst & Young people are making a difference.

Education

We work to broaden access to education so that the next generation has the skills it needs to make a positive contribution to society.

Entrepreneurship

We support entrepreneurs because they create jobs, build communities and contribute to macro-economic growth.

Environmental sustainability

We reduce our impact on the environment wherever we can.

Please note: Ernst & Young does not accept unsolicited requests for funding or volunteer engagements.
