Deloitte Conducts Climate Education Program for Employees... First Global Company to Do So

[Asia Economy Reporter Ji-hwan Park] Deloitte Korea Group, including Deloitte Anjin Accounting Firm, announced on the 7th that Deloitte is the first global company to launch a climate education program for approximately 350,000 employees worldwide.

Developed in collaboration with the World Wide Fund (WWF), Deloitte's climate education program helps employees learn about the impacts of climate change, enhancing climate literacy and enabling them to contribute to climate change mitigation through responsible choices at home and work.

Deloitte's online climate education program aims for 100% participation of its approximately 350,000 employees worldwide by the end of February 2022. The program includes not only simple climate change statistics and numerical data but also interactive videos, data visualization, and interviews with Deloitte employees worldwide who are leading climate action. Deloitte plans to regularly update and provide the latest science and information related to climate change through its own education channels.

Punit Renjen, Deloitte Global CEO, said, "To respond to climate change, we must first understand it. Deloitte's climate education program is a powerful tool to support our assets and employees in addressing climate change. Educating over 350,000 employees will serve as an opportunity to urge collective action on climate change."

Jong-sung Hong, CEO of Deloitte Korea Group, stated, "As ESG management spreads throughout society, Deloitte Korea Group will also work together with the Deloitte global network to promote a shift in awareness regarding climate change among all employees, enabling them to actively fulfill their social responsibilities as members of society and experts to create a sustainable society."
