EY teams work with impact entrepreneurs just as they would a large commercial client – offering the same methodologies, skills and experience – but with a significant difference. The EY organization charges a flat rate of US$75 per day: an affordable rate but substantial enough to preserve the relationship dynamic of a professional-service provider and paying client. Opportunities to work on TRANSFORM projects are available through EY global corporate responsibility platform, EY Ripples, and are quickly oversubscribed – with EY teams working on TRANSFORM accounts gaining valuable life and work experience.
As these enterprises scale, they transform lives at scale. In Bangladesh, Jeeon helps to get vital supplies to remote rural pharmacies (and 4 million underserved patients) through its digital platform and aims to reach every pharmacy in the country next year. Zayohub, in Zambia, is providing solar-powered community hubs that offer access to services (including renewable energy and the internet) and provide secure storage for agricultural equipment. It aims to grow from seven hubs to 40 by 2027, generating economic returns for its communities of over US$6 million per year.
