Inclusion First – Rooted in South Africa’s diversity

At PwC South Africa, Inclusion First means creating a workplace where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. In a country as diverse as ours, inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s essential for meaningful progress. 

We’re committed to helping our people develop the skills to lead inclusively and to embed inclusion into everything we do. From recruitment to leadership, our systems and policies are designed to create equitable opportunities for all—across race, gender, ability and background. 

Our behaviours reflect the spirit of Ubuntu—“I am because we are”. Through the PwC Professional framework, we lead with empathy, act with integrity and champion inclusion every day.

Disability and neuro inclusion

We’re building an inclusive environment where people with disabilities and those who are neurodivergent feel empowered to be themselves and have access to the support and adjustments they need to thrive. We bring this to life via a thorough Global Disability Inclusion strategy.

LGBT+ inclusion

We support a workplace where LGBT+ talent can bring their best, authentic selves to work and feel like they belong. Our global LGBT+ Inclusion strategy includes varying cultural scenarios that allow us to adapt the ways we advocate and support, recognising different LGBT+ legal and social landscapes faced by the LGBT+ community in different territories.

We also embrace broader dimensions of diversity—cultural heritage, language and socioeconomic background—recognising their role in shaping identity and opportunity.

Together, we’re building a workplace that reflects the richness of South Africa—where individuality is embraced and everyone has the opportunity to shine.
