At PwC, we’re all different

To solve important problems faced by our clients and our society, we aim to include diverse talent and to empower our people to use their creativity, authenticity and human differences to be the champions of change. We know that when people from diverse backgrounds and with different points of view work together, we create the most value—for our clients, our people and our society.

Everyday inclusion

Everyday inclusion is the things we do, the way we behave and how we interact with each other on a daily basis to support our culture and behaviours and to be a truly inclusive environment . We recognise that our people are our biggest strength and that creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels comfortable bringing their whole self to work is integral to who we are and how we operate. We can only produce our best and highest quality work when we build a workforce made up of talented people with a breadth of experiences, who can bring innovation and fresh perspectives and feel empowered to celebrate their differences within a safe and respectful environment.

The PwC approach

PwC has adopted a 2+1 approach to diversity and inclusion (D&I). All member firms in the PwC global network address two common dimensions of diversity: (1) Valuing differences (in how we look, how we think, how we speak, how we act, or where we come from ) and (2) Gender. On top of these, the PwC Japan Group is also promoting specific D&I initiatives in the areas of disability, diverse workstyles and LGBT+ inclusion.

PwC x HeForShe

PwC has partnered with the UN Women’s HeForShe initiative as part of our efforts to realise gender equality. As a corporate partner of this initiative *¹, PwC encourages not only women, but also men to participate in discussions to realise gender equality and to take on the challenge of solving related issues.

The PwC Japan Group holds internal events and external seminars to provide information related to gender equality , and has also established a special website that provides e-learning training on unconscious bias.

^{*1 PwC has been officially selected by UN Women as one of the 30 champions of its IMPACT 10×10×10 initiative that engages key decision makers at governments, corporations and universities to drive the HeForShe initiative from the top.}

Message from the PwC Japan Group’s diversity and inclusion leader

We are promoting these initiatives with the aims of becoming the most innovative and advanced group of professional services firms with regard to D&I and of turning diversity, which was formerly a management issue, into a business opportunity. Our ultimate goals are to create an organisation with an inclusive culture, where people respect each other and work together with vitality. Respecting and collaborating with colleagues who have different ideas and perspectives from our own is essential for our growth as a professional firm that is trusted by clients and society. Under our motto of ‘Be Yourself! Be Different!’, we will continue to vigorously promote D&I going forward.
