How Elise is building a better working world

“At EY, we believe that when organizations align their aims with society’s, they will be more viable and valuable in the long term, and we’ll all be closer to addressing some of the world’s toughest challenges.

My team and I are activating the global human rights and net zero commitments and driving transparent reporting across a range of ESG metrics. We have an opportunity to lead by example. I’m proud to be at the forefront of efforts to embed responsibility, inclusiveness and sustainability more deeply in everything we do.”
