Kayla Wickman, a Manager in the Climate Change and Sustainability Services practice at EY said “Thanks to EY Ripples, I got a chance to extend my passion for the natural world to combating climate change, while growing my career. Now I can pass that knowledge and tools to diverse teams across the company.”
Celina Chen wanted to give back, while leveraging her skills and knowledge. Her passion led her to launch a new program, Social Impact Bonds (SIBs), through EY Ripples Canada. SIBs aims to use alternative methods of public-private financing to advance the impact of social purpose organizations, as well as identifying EY Ripples’ role as a liaison with social finance stakeholders. She said “Leading the Social Impact Bonds program offered a unique opportunity for me to find the intersection between business and social impact, while creating and owning something brand new at EY. The skills I learned, both professionally and personally, have allowed me to see different perspectives on the work we do.”
Cedric Nguyen, EY Alum and College MAP Program Liaison said, “The school recognizes the need to have outside support, and it feels great to have the support of EY people who lend their time. The students feel the commitment and impact.”
