One of Deloitte's core values is a commitment to sustainability. We have an ambitious sustainability programme with measurable objectives in place. Our goal, which we intend to achieve by 2011, is as follows:
"Within our profession, we want to be a front runner in sustainability. This involves our strategy, how we integrate sustainability in our governance processes and our external reporting on concrete internal sustainability targets. In addition, we will also integrate
sustainability more and more in our external service offering."
Sustainable activities should run through every part of an organisation and we try to practise what we preach by taking a holistic approach to our own sustainability programmes.
With this in mind, our sustainability commitments involve:
- The advice and services we provide to clients
- Investment in our people
- Standards of integrity
- Commitment to our local communities and the wider society
- Environmentally sustainable operations
Deloitte's Corporate Responsibility Council, which was formed in the autumn of 2007, has global oversight for our sustainability agenda. We work closely with global colleagues and are actively involved in the Deloitte's global Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Council.
We have solid sustainability activities in place; our goal now is to improve on these activities and develop authenticity and authority.
