Companies report better financial results, employment rises, consumers are not afraid to spend, and the business sphere is better able to help the non-profit sector. In this world EY plays an important role, because our services are a significant contribution around the world to boosting confidence in capital markets and the economy. At the same time our global organization and relationships with clients, state bodies and other institutions allow us to participate in supporting positive changes.”

Mark Weinbergercomments, “Every day, every EY person is part of building a better working world – for our clients,our communities, and our families. We believe that everything we do – every audit, every tax return, every advisory opportunity, every interaction with a client or colleague – contributes to building a better working world.”
“We know that building a better working world is an ambitious objective but it is an incredibly important aspiration and will be front and center of everything we do as an organization.”
Mark Weinbergercontinues, “In a better working world trust increases, so capital flows smoothly and investors make informed decisions. Businesses grow sustainably, employment rises, consumers spend and businesses invest in their communities. More than just growth, a better working world harnesses and develops talent in all its forms and encourages collaboration.”
“We understand our obligation to look beyond our self interest and engage with the world. We use our global reach and our relationships with clients, governments and other stakeholders to create positive change. We do this through who we are and what we stand for and most importantly we back it up by how we act.”
