Our CR vision
We operate as a network of firms, offering a consistent quality of service and experience to clients both locally and across the globe. With so many PwC firms operating in different environments, in diverse parts of the world, with different cultures, each firm must set its own local priorities. However, we know that only by aligning behind a unified CR vision and approach across the PwC network, and collaborating to measure and manage what we do, will we maximise the impacts of our efforts and continuously improve.
We have consulted internally and externally to develop a local CR strategy and framework that strikes a balance with global priorities and aligning the PwC network where necessary. Our CR strategy has local and global applicability and reflects the core areas where we add value to PwC firms’ clients and to society.
The implementation tools support PwC firms in their interpretation and implementation of the strategy. They include:
Our CR commitments
These commitments reflect our strategy implementation timeline and relate to the implementation of our Network CR strategy.
Leadership ladders

Leadership ladders
Firms in the PwC network have different priorities in relation to CR. Our global strategy provides a common vision for leadership but allows for flexibility in the pace, prioritisation and localisation of activities. To provide practical yet flexible guidance on strategy implementation for PwC firms, the Global CR team has developed "leadership ladders".
For each focus area the ladders provide practical guidance and inspiration to progress from foundation level CR activities to CR leadership. The leadership ladders work alongside our Global Code of Conduct to which all PwC firms adhere. Below we provide a summary of the type of guidance included in the leadership ladders.
Our Leadership ladders
Our leadership ladders set minimum standards and provide guidance on how PwC firms achieve leadership in corporate responsibility. Each of the four steps of the ladder considers four dimensions: behaviour change; strategy and policy; measurement and engagement; and impact assessment.
