Last week we welcomed over 450 interns to our offices across the UK. On Friday they stepped away from their training and got to work in their local communities, in line with our culture of giving back and our ‘make a difference’ value. This gave them the chance to spend time in a different environment with their fellow interns, their PwC UK team leaders and the volunteers who facilitated their activities. Their time was spent enriching the environment as they lent a hand to planting fruits and vegetables, clearing a walking path, tending to the gardens of hospice patients, and more. We wish them a much less rainy rest of their internship 🤞☀️

Join the latest in our Sustainability LinkedIn Lives, regular 30-minute discussions on the actions organisations can take to accelerate their climate and sustainability ambitions. 🌍 Our September edition will explore sustainability data and technology. How can organisations harness the positive impact of data and tech - while managing the risks -  to deliver their sustainability commitments? Growing reporting demands like CSRD mean that organisations need to get a handle on their sustainability data quickly, while navigating challenges around quality, consistency and accuracy. It’s a challenge that is particularly acute for small and medium enterprises. We’ll be landing on three practical actions organisations can take to ensure they have the best quality information possible to demonstrate their impact and drive commercial and climate outcomes.
