How Rajiv is building a better working world
“Through the work we do with clients, EY contributes significantly to India’s growth and development in infrastructure, employment generation, skilling and e-governance.
To create a lasting impact on our local communities, we established the EY India Foundation in 2004. Today, over 500,000 children from rural India benefit from our education initiatives. Our initiatives for women entrepreneurship are helping increase income for more than 175,000 rural families in about 3,000 villages. As part of our pledge to be carbon neutral by 2020, we have undertaken several programs from planting trees to installing solar panels, smart lighting solutions and water conservation systems at our office locations.
I am proud that each year our people enthusiastically volunteer their time and resources to support our community initiatives.”
