How Rajiv is shaping the future with confidence
“At EY, we are filled with gratitude and a profound sense of purpose in our work through the EY Foundation. Our efforts are driving meaningful change and transforming lives by focusing on education, empowering rural women entrepreneurs, and promoting environmental sustainability.
From over 175,000 rural women in over 2,000 villages contributing to their families’ income with dignity, to more than 10,000 beneficiaries of the Scholarship program building their futures, the Foundation has charted a relentless two-decade long journey dedicated to our commitment to building a better world. Our environment initiatives have focused on afforestation, water conservation and biodiversity and adopting energy efficient alternatives across our offices.
I am thankful to our people, who enthusiastically volunteer their time and resources to support our community initiatives.”
