PwC Belgium FY21 financial results
Our efforts to remain close to clients, focus on our people and to stay connected as a workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic paid off, enabling us to continue to grow our business, even in the most challenging of times. In FY21, PwC Belgium reported total net revenues of 386.2 million euros, an increase of 0.86% on FY20. Feedback received from clients indicates that they were impressed with our agility and ability to support them and maintain the high quality of our services even in a remote setting.

Continued efficiency programmes also yielded sustained returns and additiational investment capacity with profitability levels up by five percent compared to prior year.

Advisory
Combining the company’s Consulting and Deals units, PwC Belgium’s Advisory practice saw a 12.82% increase in net revenues, taking the total to 116.2 million euros. Growth was especially driven by our Management and Technology Consulting practices that experienced a significant increase in client demand.
Community and social vitality
We believe business has a key role to play in addressing current societal challenges and to foster the inclusive transformation of society for a more digital world. And that people should be given the time and opportunity to make a positive contribution which not only benefits the communities around them, but also offers them meaning in their personal and professional lives. That’s why we encourage people to get involved in projects that serve society, be they proposed by the firm or by our people who have a cause close to their heart for which they’re looking for support.

Innovation in our services
PwC began our digital transformation some years ago, but the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated both the need to become more digital and our actions to achieve this. Working closely as they do with clients, our people often come up with ideas on how we can better serve them, using technologies in new and novel ways. To make sure we’re able to pick up and develop their ideas, and to give them a real contribution to make to their work, no matter where in the business they are, we’ve created a dedicated innovation and creativity framework that includes innovation ambassadors, training and support. In FY21, we also introduced chief digital officers (CDOs) to every line of service to encourage, lead and develop digital ideas and initiatives.
Supply chain management
We believe that to make a notable positive contribution to the environment and society around them, businesses need to think beyond their own borders and seek to work with partners who adhere to the same high standards of concern throughout their value chain. PwC’s committed to operating within a framework of ethical and professional standards, laws, regulation, internal policies and core values. We’ve been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2002 and remain deeply committed to UNGC’s ten principles for responsible business practices.
