We believe we’ve a part to play in addressing current societal challenges and fostering the inclusive transformation of society. At PwC Belgium, 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.
With experience showing that people are keen to come together to support a good cause, we’ve put in place an extensive Community Programme that features a range of options, making it more accessible and enabling us to further increase our positive impact. The programme offers a variety of options that people can take part in as a team, a unit, a line of service – helping build and support team spirit - or simply as an individual, or with family and friends. Which means it offers real flexibility in enabling us to make a tangible difference.
To encourage everyone to make a positive contribution to society, PwC allows our people to dedicate up to 24 working hours/year (on average) to a social project of their choice, provided that they also support the project with an equal amount of their private time. The project must serve a social purpose and contribute to the welfare of any layer of society. The person asking to use our MyProjects facility must be personally involved in the cause in a volunteering capacity.
Every year, we offer our skills and services to good causes in the form of pro-bono work. This support includes helping concerns of all sizes, from small local charities to national and global civil society organisations. Among others, we work with Teach for Belgium, an NGO that attracts, selects, trains and supports people who are committed to teaching in the most disadvantaged schools in the country, on a pro-bono basis.
In FY25, we extended with our partnership with the Innoptus Solar Team, a team of Belgian engineering students from KU Leuven who are competing to build the most innovative and efficient solar car, to include AI support. The team placed third in the recent Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia, having won the previous two editions. The World Solar Challenge is a prestigious world championship event for solar cars. Our Partnership with the Innoptus Solar Team reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing Belgian talent and fostering innovation in the field of solar energy.
