Commitment to inclusiveness

As a global organization operating in over 150 countries and territories, we see the value of diverse teams in helping serve the unique needs of our clients and strengthening our business.

We're building an inclusive workplace where everyone is welcome, valued and supported in developing their skills and EY career. We're working to provide each person with access to the resources and opportunities they need, recognizing different starting points — so that everyone can contribute fully and thrive.

One way this comes to life: Today, five generations are working side-by-side in the workforce together for the first time. We have an opportunity to benefit from the perspectives of all generations across our workforce — in how we work, how we team and how we lead. 


To demonstrate our commitment, the Global Executive (GE) has signed a statement, which you can read below.
