PwC Isle of Man is part of a network of firms in 157 countries, committed to delivering quality in assurance, advisory and tax services.
The company’s global purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. It recognises that economic growth, social progress and environmental sustainability must be aligned and business has a big role to play in this.
PwC is making changes internally while helping to evolve global economies to once again deliver for society, whether it’s responsible business, diversity, community involvement and environmental stewardship.
PwC recognises that the greatest impact it has on the environment comes from the energy used at its offices and in its travel. Addressing these issues is the starting point for its environmental strategy.
PwC globally is committed to offsetting air travel emissions from this financial year and to sourcing 100% renewables for electricity consumption and offsetting residual energy use by the 2022 financial year.
PwC IoM has adopted new meeting technologies, such as Google G-Suite, to reduce the need to travel. Its Douglas office has been updated with a more finely controlled heating and air conditioning and energy-saving daylight bulbs.
A silver Partner of Manx Wildlife Trust, PwC IoM supports the charity’s #ManxPlasticPledge and the Government’s Single-Use Plastic Reduction Plan for the Isle of Man. It has removed single-use plastic cups from the office and has provided staff with reusable cups, so they can enjoy drinks on the go. It has made reusable tote bags available for staff to use when shopping, reducing their reliance on plastic bags.
Monitoring printing and educating employees not to print unless necessary has reduced paper use. Paper, metals, plastic, glass and, now, Isle of Man Creamery milk cartons are recycled daily.
PwC IoM provides time, skills and services to numerous charities and associations on the Isle of Man. For its 2017 community project, staff dedicated 238 hours to Manx Wildlife Trust’s ‘Ramsey Eco-Active’ project, an educational nature trail due to open in 2020. In 2019, staff completed a week’s volunteering at the Community Farm, run by Biosphere Partner the Children’s Centre.
Each employee has a charitable day, during which they are encouraged to volunteer with a charity, participate in a charitable event or take part in a sponsored activity. Staff are encouraged to take part in events, such as the Parish Walk and Race the Sun. The company holds charitable dress down days.
PwC IoM sponsors local sports teams and supports local charities, which encourage activity among children and teens. These includes the Douglas Athletic Football Club Junior League and Manx Gems netball teams plus the Family Library Summer Reading Scheme.
As well as contributing to the Isle of Man’s economy as a leading employer, PwC IoM runs a summer internship programme, providing school leavers and university students, encouraging them to make a career on the Island.
