Corporate Responsibility

PwC is committed to playing a leading role in building this sustainable future. We hold ourselves accountable for:

• our actions and work to promote responsible business practices;
• support the growth and development of our people and communities;
• minimise our impact on the environment.  

PwC in Kazakhstan launched its formal Corporate Responsibility Programme in 2009. Our Programme comprising four main areas: Marketplace, People, Environment and Community.

Marketplace

Our work in the business community brings us into contact with a wide circle of stakeholders. We maintain a constant dialogue with our clients, the most important of these, working to address their needs and enhance their value. PwC is an active participant in a number of business associations and professional organisations.

Additional initiatives include staying in contact with PwC alumni, regularly carrying out client satisfaction surveys and developing a responsible supply chain.

People

In addition to community and environmental projects, PwC also invests in the health and wellness of its staff and their families. PwC makes every effort to be the employer of choice and to treat staff fairly and with respect. Ethics and diversity, both in terms of clients and staff, forms a cornerstone of our brand and practice.

Community

PwC supports initiatives in child welfare, education and social problems. For several years now, our firm has supported First Women’s Crisis Shelter against domestic and sexual violence working in Kazakhstan since 1998. Its mission is the social adaptation and psychological rehabilitation of women and children suffering violence as well as public opinion influence to change the attitude to violence and those committing it. We have also mutually beneficial links with universities, providing sponsorships and having our professionals give lectures and conduct workshops for students.

Environment

We are all responsible for the preservation of our natural environment. For PwC this means integrating environmental strategy into our everyday operations, doing our part with regard to client change and engaging our people with environmental issues. To improve waste management, we have taken steps to reduce paper and plastic consumption in our offices.
