The context in which we operate

Adding value through our work

As PwC, we believe we have a responsibility to make a positive contribution to our country and the economy. We achieve this by developing and nurturing good talent, stimulating start-ups and scale-ups, helping established firms remain relevant and continue to build trust and by cultivating a truly circular economy. This entails bringing together our vast breadth of knowledge, skills, expertise, experience and relationships in innovative and holistic ways.

Remaining relevant to stakeholders

We bring our community of solvers together in new and innovative ways to collaborate and deliver professional services above and beyond client expectations, our purpose-driven approach – The New Equation helps make sure that we remain a  highly credible and relevant firm worldwide. And that we attract and retain the most valuable people while leveraging key technologies to achieve lasting results for organisations and, more importantly, foster trust with their stakeholders.

Our success as a trusted and relevant firm belongs firmly to the talent we have. Our people are the driving force behind our ability to serve clients and uplift communities. We’re deeply committed to doing what we can to make sure our people stay connected and thrive with PwC. Our goal is to create a workplace that prioritises their wellbeing, where they feel appreciated for their efforts and empowered to contribute their distinct value towards clients’ businesses, our environment and society. From I&D initiatives to professional development programmes, it’s our goal to support our people’s growth and ambitions, strengthen the bond they feel towards each other and to our brand. Providing this purpose-led space is instrumental in attracting and retaining the exceptional talent upon which the longevity of our business is built.

The pace of change in our world continues to accelerate. Over the past year, the global landscape underwent significant shifts, amplifying the hurdles encountered by both businesses and individuals.
