Stakeholder engagement
Our stakeholders include our people, businesses, government and regulators, NGOs and non-profits, future talent, and society.
As part of our stakeholder engagement process, we have established diversified channels to facilitate exchange and understanding. We conduct this through both internal and external communication channels. We carefully design the nature and mode of our communication to enable continuous and impactful dialogue with stakeholders on relevant ESG topics.
Our people
Our staff and partners are at the core of who we are. They drive our success by demonstrating the strategic direction of the firm and by delivering exceptional services to our clients. We actively listen to our people through various channels, including real-time dialogue with the firm’s leaders, focus groups with our staff and regular feedback and follow-up communications.
Businesses
Our clients, suppliers and business partners are foundational to our work and operations. We engage through active day-to-day communication with our clients and on-going supplier screening, as well as regular business events and forums.
Government and regulators
Adhering to current regulations and gaining insight from the broader business community is fundamental to meet government and regulatory expectations. We continue to work with regulatory bodies through active dialogue and joint projects, working committees and consultations, and community events.
NGOs and non-profits
Enhancing capacity and fostering exchange with NGOs is important in unlocking their full potential and creating social impact that benefits the wider community. We regularly engage our NGO partners with corporate sustainability initiatives and collaboration programmes to spur positive impact.
Future talent
We strive to attract and retain top talent who are equipped with future-fit and diverse skills to join our workforce and continue our standing as an employer of choice. We reach out to young talent via campus talks and recruitment events, and engage with experienced professionals through channels such as job fairs and social media channels.
Society
We advance PwC’s purpose of building trust and solving important problems in the wider community by creating meaningful impact with our clients and communities. Through media interviews, publications, our websites and social media channels, we deliver our insights and receive feedback from the public.
Materiality assessment
We conduct periodic assessments to refresh our latest material topics and effectively act upon our ESG priorities. Our materiality assessment process includes conducting desktop research and analysis, identifying and updating a list of topics, prioritisation through stakeholder engagement, senior management validation of material topics, and integration into our ESG reporting and sustainability strategy. Our FY23 materiality assessment results are shown below.
Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
At PwC China, we support several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which were established in 2015 as a global call for a more sustainable future. The following table summarises our initiatives in support of UN SDGs. We have also undertaken an internal mapping exercise to identify the specific targets under each goal where we can make the most significant impact.
