Creating a successful strategy goes beyond simply deploying employees as volunteers.

When it comes to building a corporate responsibility program, ensuring that it is purpose-driven is key to its ultimate success. At EY, we’ve learned through personal experience that creating meaningful CR programs means more than just providing service opportunities. It means investing in addressing social inequities, barriers to economic growth and other vexing societal challenges we see every day. Through corporate responsibility programs, people can engage with their communities as forces for good. This includes things such as mentoring students in underserved schools, teaching entrepreneurial skills at home and abroad, and volunteering on nonprofit boards.
