Through Corporate Responsibility, we are on a journey to make every decision, every day, count towards a sustainable future. By behaving responsibly and acting with integrity, we play our part in making a difference in the areas that are critical to the resiliency of our business, people and the community. In recognising that each one of us is a catalyst for change, we can use our skills, voice and relationships to work with others and influence activities that make a difference, create change and have a lasting impact on the world around us.
Our five core values form the bedrock for our PwC culture. Acting with integrity, caring, teamwork, reimagining the possible and making a difference impact the choices we make across our business, including in our corporate social responsibility efforts:

Last year, we continued where we left off the previous year and also launched a number of new initiatives to support our society. Here is a glimpse of what we’ve done.
The 23rd of October 2020 was Wear it Pink Day at PwC. Everyone was encouraged to wear a pink item of clothing - both for those who worked from the office or remotely, in order to show that we stand together in solidarity and that we form part of a community that wants to help.
As part of the initiative the firm raised the sum of €860 which were donated to the Action for Breast Cancer Foundation.
PwC staff also benefited from a discounted price for breast ultrasounds and mammograms.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges to the most vulnerable within our society. In light of the fact that our traditional Annual Conference for 2020 was not held, the Giving Back December initiative was done in its place. This initiative was both very well received and supported.
Through time invested by PwC employees during the month of December and monetary donations, which totalled €50,000, we supported through the following:
Food collection for food banks
Blood Donation Unit
Baking for Charity
Heritage Sites
Assisting animal sanctuaries
Clean ups
Throughout the year we have supported a number of local charities such as:
In view of the particular circumstances we had seen over the past year, it felt appropriate to place even more emphasis on recognising and acknowledging our people.
For the PwC Experience Award four people are identified, one from each line of service, who were awarded for their efforts, commitment and for living the PwC values throughout the year. One of the four finalists, was then identified as the overall winner and was awarded the PwC Experience trophy.
As part of our commitment to support our local heritage, PwC Malta has entered into a sponsorship agreement with Majjistral Nature and History Park. The collaboration was inaugurated with a tree planting activity.
Both PwC and the Heritage Parks Federation believe that their values are very much aligned with one another. They also hope that this is the start of a very long and fruitful relationship, with events for employees hosted at Majjistral Nature and History Park once restrictions have been slowly lifted.
