Sustainable growth

Financial means are required if we are to enable sustainable investments and to successfully deliver on our purpose and strategy. That is why PwC strives for profitable growth. Sustainable growth is also about non-financial information, about achieving our goals in the field of ESG (e.g. diversity, integrity). Because we can only achieve financial growth if we practise what we preach.

We measure our impact on SDGs

PwC’s SDG Impact Measurement (IM) framework helps us to understand and be transparent about our impact on society. It supports our value-creation process by quantifying our impact along the lines of the SDGs with the overarching aim of contributing to our purpose. The SDG IM framework covers the SDGs that we consider the most material.

We have aligned our material SDGs with our material topics to ensure we focus on our most significant impacts. Overall, our ambitions for 2030 and targets for 2024 did not change, apart from formulating higher ambitions for SDG5 (Gender equality).

Financial results

Financial performance was solid for all our services in these challenging times. Inflation is high while at the same time unemployment is low, making it harder to find the right people. We see an increase in demand for our services and have been able to grow despite the sale of the Global Mobility practice in April 2022.

Social impact

Our ‘inclusion first’ approach is key in our I&D strategy. We have committed ourselves to attaining a diverse workforce in 2030 that better mirrors the wider societies in which we do business. We have set a diversity ambition for our population from a gender and ethnic perspective, detailed by yearly aspirational goals for inflow, promotion and outflow.
