Since 2012, PwC has traditionally sailed in the Pride Amsterdam Canal Parade on the first Saturday of August. Together with 79 other boats (from companies, governments and various interest groups), we show society that we stand for LGBTIQ+ inclusion and that we celebrate this. PwC does this based on the belief that you should always be able to be yourself at work. This year our theme is: Together we Shine.
PwC strives to achieve an inclusive culture in which we embrace diversity. Inclusive means that everyone feels involved and valued – not in spite of but thanks to their differences. So that everyone can shine at work. This message is in line with the Pride 2024 theme #together.’
Over 100 (international) colleagues proudly promote this message on the all-electric boat.
Sustainable sailing
PwC has committed to Net Zero by 2030. Net Zero means not adding new emissions to the atmosphere. For PwC this comes down to reducing our absolute emissions as much as possible, but by at least fifty percent and offsetting any remaining emissions. Combined, our emissions would then be Net Zero. That is why this year our boat is completely electric. The necessary electricity on the boat, for example for the music, is produced by a battery instead of a diesel generator.
