How we’re building a better working world for:
Our people
Creating a sense of belonging in our diverse, equitable and inclusive work environments is how we can best position our people to make a meaningful impact for our clients, societies and one another. It’s also why we invest in building transformative leaders of the future and cultivating a culture of health and wellness.
Our clients
Our experience leads us to ask the bold questions that help Canadian businesses build trust and redefine the value they create for their own stakeholders, customers and communities. We use this same experience in our advocacy for and engagement with the industries and governing bodies that shape the future of our markets.
Our society
How we engage with and give back to society today – ethically, equitably and sustainably –will help shape Canada’s environmental, educational and entrepreneurial landscape for generations to come. Our EY Ripples volunteer program gives our people opportunities to give back in the ways that matter to them, as we uphold our corporate responsibility pillars of equity, environment, entrepreneurship and education.
Our planet
In 2020, we became a net-zero organization. As of 2021, we’re carbon negative, and we continue to help other businesses reach their carbon reduction goals. At EY Canada, we’re continuously working to mitigate our environmental impacts while implementing large-scale change to protect our planet.
