Making a difference in the world

At Ernst & Young, corporate responsibility is part of what we do every day — for our people, for the companies we serve, and for our communities. It’s through our daily work and community engagement that we have the opportunity to demonstrate the shared values that are the foundation for all that we do and are at the heart of our social responsibility.

We focus on two key areas that fit best with who we are and where we can create positive social change.

• Our strategic focus on education and mentoring allows us to devote our resources to helping society maintain competitive standards in a global marketplace.
• We use our knowledge and skills to benefit developing economies and help new businesses thrive. By celebrating, supporting and serving entrepreneurship across the globe, we are helping to create opportunity through generating jobs, stimulating economies, and making communities more vibrant.

We also work to integrate socially responsible thinking and action into all aspects of Ernst & Young’s business and to identify the new opportunities that a socially responsible perspective brings — from our people and business processes to our service lines and areas of industry focus.
