Social impact collaboration
EY teams collaborate with clients through EY Ripples to scale impact initiatives and create long-term value, helping achieve sustainable outcomes that no one organization could achieve alone.
What EY can do for you
As a proud participant in the United Nations Global Compact, the global EY organization is committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
EY Ripples, our global corporate responsibility program, brings together the combined skills, knowledge and experience of the global EY network in pursuit of one shared vision: to positively impact one billion lives by 2030.
We believe that SDG 17, “Partnerships for the Goals,” is the key to unlocking all the SDGs. That’s why our EY Ripples strategy includes lending our expertise, resources and technology to clients on a not-for-profit basis to help scale aligned social impact initiatives in the areas where EY teams are distinctively positioned in pursuit of the SDGs – supporting the next generation workforce, working with impact entrepreneurs and accelerating environmental sustainability.
Our vision is to help establish a new market-leading model for collaborative impact, bringing together purpose-aligned organizations to shape a better future for society and the planet.
There are multiple ways we collaborate with our clients to amplify our shared social impact:
- Are you interested in learning more about social impact and sustainability leading practices? Learn together through structured knowledge-sharing sessions to share insights about our respective corporate responsibility journeys, engaging on organizational challenges and opportunities to envision a more impactful future.
- Are you looking for ways to accelerate progress towards your social impact ambitions? Act together by combining our organizational capabilities and taking joint action around strategic social impact programs. EY professionals around the world contribute their skills through pro-bono consulting, skills development workshops, mentoring programs as well as digital tools and resources to support the next generation, help impact enterprises scale and accelerate environmental sustainability.
Through EY Ripples, we have an ambitious goal to positively impact the lives of one billion people around the globe. This goal is not just a number; it represents our commitment to building a better working world by collaborating with other organizations to create meaningful change across our communities.
Through this new initiative with EY, we’re helping young people build the AI skills they need to succeed in the evolving AI economy. By bridging the gap between education and employability, we’re creating opportunities for the next generation to contribute, innovate, and thrive.
