'We must drive change' | Deloitte launches global sustainability and climate education scheme

Deloitte is launching a globally coordinated learning program to increase the sustainability and climate knowledge and skills of its approximately 415,000 people across businesses, industries, and levels of work.

The effort stems from the Deloitte Global Sustainability & Climate practice, which is dedicated to guiding clients as they redefine their climate strategies; embed sustainability into their operations; meet tax, disclosure, and regulatory requirements; and accelerate the transformation of their organizations and value chains. This learning program aims to enhance the skills and capabilities of Deloitte professionals, enabling them to confidently address sustainability and climate topics while advising clients and other stakeholders—creating one of the largest networks of sustainability specialists.

“We are seeing increased demand for these services from our clients, who are seeking greater information and guidance on sustainability issues, approaches to addressing the climate crisis, and good corporate governance,” says Punit Renjen, Deloitte Global CEO. “Our Sustainability & Climate learning program will give our professionals the critical insights needed to expand their skillsets, grow their careers, and serve as trusted advisors to clients as they transform their organizations.”

To mark the launch of this effort, Deloitte is hosting its first-ever Global Sustainability and Climate Learning Week from September 26 to September 30. Learning Week will be a multi-modal experience that offers Deloitte people a mix of live, on-demand and virtual opportunities for education, awareness, engagement, and action.
