At PwC, we see progress as a shared journey. Through our Community Programme, we use our expertise to support social organisations striving for a fair, inclusive, and adaptable society. We help these organisations grow and tackle key challenges while our team gains fresh perspectives and valuable experience. Each year, we commit 12,000 hours to projects that align with our core theme: equal opportunities.
In a world of constant change, new opportunities arise for entrepreneurs and society—and for us too. But not everyone can access these opportunities. History shows that during times of significant change, divisions can quickly widen.
We aim to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, gender, age, or sexuality, has equal chances to thrive. We see this not just as a moral duty but as essential for building an inclusive and fair society.
Together, we create lasting social impact—both within and beyond PwC.
We also support social initiatives outside working hours. Through the What Matters 2U Foundation, established by PwC partners, we provide financial support for projects that colleagues are personally committed to.
We aim to support social organisations that contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, we want to maximise our impact on society by focusing on equal opportunities within our pro bono projects.
We are in the process of transforming ourselves into a purpose-led and values-driven organisation. Social organisations (such as social enterprises or foundations) have been doing this from the beginning, and they inspire us during this transformation process. We use the SDGs as a benchmark to measure our impact.

Equality and diversity rank high on the political agenda as well as that of many organisations. The pandemic has increased inequality and made it more visible at the same time. Additionally, the world becomes a bit more complex every day due to rapid technological advancements. Not everyone in our society can keep up with these changes. To contribute to solving social problems, we engage in pro bono work to support organisations that aim to reduce the opportunity gap. Here are some highlights of our pro bono projects:
