Community Involvement refers to a wide range of actions

companies can take to have an impact on communities

with their invested or donated money, time, products,

services, influence, management knowledge and other

resources.

Key Considerations

• How we manage these activities

• Strength of connections between community programs and firm’s business strategy

• Processes are in place to determine the impact of these activities on the firm and

community

• Internal/external communications to promote community involvement

• Contributions

• Cash & in-kind giving annually

• Number of pro-bono service hours

• Firm sponsored volunteer targets/opportunities

• Leadership involvement in non-profit boards, etc.

• Employee giving programs

CSR in Deloitte

• Deloitte Australia has supported not-for-profit organisations and initiatives within

our national, state and local communities for many years

• to enhance CSR activities in the community to inspire our Deloitte people we set up ‘The Deloitte Foundation Limited’ in 2005

• all of the firm’s CSR activities channelled through The Deloitte Foundation

• we surveyed our 4500+ people across Australia which CSR areas they wanted to support Five key areas:

- Community welfare

- healthcare and medical research

- education

- environment

- arts and culture.

What has and hasn’t worked?

• supporting 1-2 major charities/ communities nationally

• donations as a CSR response

• genuine CSR response rather than ‘teflon’ strategy

• lack of depth of understanding by leadership

• leveraging CSR as marketing tool.

• Low key communications to employees

CSR In Deloitte

• 67% of our people have been directly involved in Foundation activities

• over 50 organisations have benefited from the work of The Deloitte Foundation

• expenditure through pro bono and sponsorship in excess of $1.9M

• The Deloitte Foundation provides support for these areas through donations, volunteerism, pro bono services and board appointments

• In 2007 we held a competition inviting our people to nominate their particular charity for a financial grant. We received over 100 nominations and 30 organisations will be receiving varying grants via their Deloitte employee contact.

• so far in 2007 financial year we donated almost $300,000 to worthy charities in every state and in Australia

• our people have given freely of their own time through fund-raising activities and volunteer work eg: internal CSR through Red nose day, time off, your ‘personal’ charity.
