WEF Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics Report

This year we are again reporting against the 21 core metrics that cover the four key areas of Principles of Governance, Planet, People and Prosperity and the additional 34 metrics that go into more detail for each area.

Of the total 55 metrics, 16 are not relevant to PwC as a professional services network. Of the 39 metrics that are relevant to us, similar to last year we are reporting fully against 16 metrics, partially against 20 and not reporting against the remaining three relevant metrics. We are proud of what we have achieved so far in relation to these metrics but there is more we want to do in the future.

Notes

_{1: Some numbers may not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding.}

_{2: All numbers are as at 30 June 2024, the end of our 2024 financial year, unless otherwise stated. In this report “Partners” refers to equity partners and principals and reflects headcount as of 1 July, not 30 June.}

_{3: Some of the data reported relates to the 21 PwC territories  known as the Strategy Council. The countries or regions included in the Strategy Council are:  Australia, Africa Central and Southern Africa, Brazil, Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Middle East, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. Together the Strategy Council represents 90% of PwC’s global revenues so while we would prefer to report data that covers the whole of the PwC network and will work towards that wherever possible sometimes this can be challenging.  We believe that reporting data that covers 90% of our revenues gives a very good indication of our performance or impact in a particular area.}

_{4: We report ethnicity data for nine of our Strategy Council territories. We are unable to report ethnicity data for our other Strategy Council territories because, amongst other reasons, local laws prohibit collecting and/or publicly sharing this data. Each of the nine reporting territories has mapped the majority/minority ethnicity of its workforce.} 

_{5: Environmental data is provided by, or estimated for, each PwC firm, and is then consolidated at the network level where a consistent methodology is applied for inclusion in this report. Therefore the scope for these metrics is wider than some of the other metrics presented as it captures all operations which fall into our organisational boundary, not just Strategy Council territories.}

_{6: In this report the terms PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC, our, we and us are used to refer to the network of firms of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited or, as the context requires, to one or more PwC firms.}
