A business based on responsible, sustainable and inclusive growth principles
The EY organization creates long-term value for our people, clients and society, based on the principles of responsible business and an inclusive culture that promotes citizenship and giving back to the communities where we live and work. The EY Responsible Business function drives corporate citizenship efforts in the US. We embed responsibility, sustainability and inclusive growth in our strategies and in our everyday work.
Working to achieve our sustainability commitments and prepare for a greener world
Advancing toward our global carbon ambition of net zero in 2025, the EY organization is carbon negative for the second year in a row. We continue to support a variety of programs to meet our commitments:
An employee-led, interactive experience helps people commit to adjusting their everyday behaviors (e.g., household lighting, food consumption) and track their CO2 savings
An employee group that encourages fresh thinking and smart technology to address environmental problems, while becoming a leading organization for equitable climate and environmental action

We launched the EY Social Justice Fund within the EY Foundation to help address the root causes of racism and inequity. EY US has allocated $10 million to the Fund, with distribution to be guided by the Social Justice Fund Committee, which includes a variety of EY people from all ranks, regions and service lines.
EY leadership announced a $1 million gift to the EY foundation, enabling each region in the US to direct dollars to not-for-profit organizations that offer support, resources and allyship in the fight against violence, hate and tragic circumstances.
