EY’s stated purpose is “Building a better working world.” With this in mind, EY plays a critical role in building a better working world for its people, for its clients and for its communities.
EY people value the importance of doing the right thing — it drives everything they do. That’s why as a leader in professional services and corporate responsibility, EY believes that it has an obligation to use its collectively vast knowledge, experience, tools and resources to help solve the world’s toughest problems.
Through EY Ripples, a global corporate responsibility program, the goal is to impact 250 million lives by 2025 and 1 billion lives by 2030. The approach to achieving this goal prioritizes three areas: supporting the next-generation workforce, working with impact entrepreneurs and accelerating environmental sustainability. These focus areas represent the intersection between EY’s organizational competencies, its business strategy and societal need.
At the EY organization, there is a belief in the power and promise of skills-based volunteerism. This means taking day-to-day distinctive services and competencies and applying them to solve the communities’ most pressing challenges. EY people’s strong desire to drive lasting, positive change for their communities, our planet and society continually pushes EY further along in its endeavors.
Globally, EY’s collective efforts have touched the lives of over 127 million people since the launch of EY Ripples in 2019, and in FY23 alone, EY positively impacted more than 46 million lives of which its Los Angeles-based professionals impacted more than 500,000 lives.
