Making an impact
that matters
Deloitte has long been a purpose-led organization. In 2015, we
put that Purpose into words to inspire Deloitte professionals and
help us achieve our global strategy of being the undisputed global
leader in professional services.
Our Purpose statement is a clear and compelling declaration of why we exist. It says:
Deloitte makes an impact that matters.
Delivering service
that matters
Building careers
that matter
Having influence
that matters
Our desire to make a positive, enduring impact every day for our organization and its
stakeholders requires that:
• We serve clients with quality and distinction, making a measurable and
attributable impact.
• We inspire our people to deliver value—mentoring and developing future leaders
and colleagues for life.
• We contribute to society, building confidence and trust, upholding integrity, and
supporting the community.
• We lead the profession by challenging ourselves to do what matters most,
delivering innovative ideas that reflect our unique capabilities.
These Purpose-driven behaviors are guided by our network’s shared values—integrity,
outstanding value to markets and clients, commitment to each other, and strength
from cultural diversity.
Activities during the past year aimed at bringing our Purpose to life—through extensive
communication and engagement campaigns—have engaged and connected our
network’s 225,000-plus professionals to challenge themselves and each other to do
what matters most for Deloitte’s clients, its people, and the societies in which they live
and work.
Deloitte’s Purpose is enduring and informs our business decisions, guides our
operational strategies, and steers our activities as corporate citizens. With a defined
Purpose to lead us, Deloitte acts with courage and conviction to make an impact that
matters every day—across our businesses and around the world—by serving the most
sophisticated clients, tackling the world’s most complex problems, and promoting
integrity and trust in the marketplace.
This is what we do.
This is who we are. This is our Purpose.
A strong sense of purpose is closely linked to positive
organizational performance, as demonstrated in the
Deloitte US “Core beliefs and culture survey” and
DTTL 2015 Millennial Survey.
Among businesses where Millennials say there is a
strong sense of purpose, there is significantly higher
reporting of financial success, employee satisfaction,
and effective talent recruitment.

Making an impact that matters
Exceptional organizations that flourish over time are defined by a purpose, and
Deloitte’s purpose is to make an impact that matters—for member firm clients,
our people, and society. This purpose is embedded throughout our global
network. It defines who we are. It lies at the heart of the work of our network’s
225,400 people across more than 150 countries.
We begin our respective terms this year—as Deloitte Global Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Deloitte Global Board of Directors—honored to support our
member firm colleagues around the world as they build on the Deloitte network’s rich
heritage of serving member firm clients, our people, and our communities.
Sincerely,
Living our purpose is also at the foundation of the Deloitte network’s strong FY2015
performance.
Despite global economic and geopolitical challenges, Deloitte achieved
aggregate global revenues of US$35.2 billion, representing growth of 7.6 percent in
local currency terms. Deloitte hired approximately 62,000 new professionals last year
and invested more than US$200 million in community and societal impact initiatives
around the world.
Delivering service

Deloitte professionals take great pride in the many ways the organization serves
stakeholders around the world, and our 12th Global Report highlights some of the best
examples from the past year through the lens of clients, talent, and society.

Deloitte member firms serve clients and markets with quality and distinction, bringing
trust and confidence to the capital markets, delivering innovative insights, solving
complex challenges, and unlocking sustainable growth. Member firms strive to be the
first choice of clients—whether they need confidence to take decisive action; require a
high-quality audit of their financial statements; seek experience on complex tax issues;
or face a “bet-the-company” challenge.
Building careers that matter
Deloitte member firms invest in their talented professionals so they may deliver
outstanding value to clients.
We mentor and develop future leaders, providing an
exceptional career experience and an inclusive, collaborative culture. Our network
aims to be the premier career destination for the best and brightest minds.

remains committed to sustainability and to supporting the U.N.
Global Compact. We
aspire to be a role model of quality, integrity, and positive change, helping to solve the
toughest global challenges.
In all we do, Deloitte aspires to be not necessarily the biggest, but the best—the
undisputed global leader in professional services. Our network continues to leverage
global scale, new technologies, and deep industry insights to help member firm clients
maximize opportunities and manage risks in a borderless and uncertain environment.

Strategy, outlook, and acquisitions
Business choices aim to separate Deloitte from the pack
Deloitte has a far-reaching network and multidisciplinary model, with deep
institutional knowledge that allows member firm professionals to deliver exceptional
services across a range of industry sectors. Deloitte is an innovator that is expanding
its capabilities in areas such as cognitive technologies, cloud computing, digital
applications, cyber, risk, and crisis services.
Deloitte’s aspiration is to be the undisputed global leader in professional services.
This means being the first choice for clients; being the premier career destination for
top talent; being a role model of quality, integrity, and positive change; and helping
solve the toughest global challenges. We are intent on being the best, not necessarily
the biggest.
Within the context of our Purpose—making an impact that matters—five strategic
business priorities define our path forward: client leadership, business leadership,
geographic leadership, talent leadership, and network leadership.
That’s what Deloitte’s strategy is all about—strengthening our businesses,
empowering our talent, and backing them with an exceptional network to serve the
world’s most important organizations. We are executing these choices with passion
and rigor against an ever-evolving external backdrop that continues to challenge
Deloitte and our competitors in each of our businesses.
The disruptions Deloitte
continues to confront include:
• Increasing geopolitical changes that are reshaping the global marketplace,
shifting the balance of power, and creating new hotspots of political unrest;
• Continued economic volatility and uncertainty, causing financial risk in some
parts of the world and shifting the balance of our investments across developed
and emerging markets;
Strategic acquisitions
Deloitte’s FY2015 acquisition activity focused on adding specific capabilities aligned
with growth areas identified in our strategy. Key member firm acquisitions included:
• GMK Partners, a boutique provider of chartered accounting services to high-networth clients in Australia (Deloitte Australia).
• KD Johns & Co., an Australian tax and business advisory firm (Deloitte Australia).
• Hervé Schauer Consultants, a network security consulting agency in France
(Deloitte France).
• Rapidly shifting technology paradigms where data proliferation, open
innovation, and data analytics are exploding, while cyber security threats worsen;
• Visser Consulting, a leading provider of regulatory, safety, and environmental
compliance services to energy companies in western Canada (Deloitte Canada).
• Regulatory changes, including the potential for a markedly different global
regulatory landscape to emerge at the end of a protracted period of change across
several markets; and
• Licetus, a Germany-based provider of software asset management services in
Europe (Deloitte Germany).
• Fluid geographic challenges presented by the expanding scale of multinationals
operating in different markets, creating the demand for seamless cross-border
services.
Guided by past strategic choices, Deloitte has thrived in the midst of economic
adversity and dramatic market changes. Deloitte is confident our current strategy and
Purpose-led approach position the organization to accelerate its success and achieve
its goal of undisputed leadership.
• Kavanagh Fennell, one of Ireland’s leading corporate recovery and insolvency
services firms (Deloitte Ireland).
• Analytics Group, an Australian consultancy offering CFO-level advisory services and
operational support (Deloitte Australia).
• AXOA, a French services company specializing in software-as-a-service (SaaS)
solutions (Deloitte France).
• The Lonsdale Group, an Australian boutique that provides consulting and advisory
services for cloud-based systems (Deloitte Australia).

New leaders establish a path forward
Network governance approach reinforces commitment
to quality and integrity
Punit Renjen became Deloitte Global Chief Executive Officer on 1 June 2015,
succeeding Barry Salzberg. Renjen served most recently as chairman of the board,
Deloitte LLP (US), and prior to that, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Also on 1 June 2015, David Cruickshank began his term as Chairman of the DTTL
Board, succeeding Steve Almond. Cruickshank had served as Chairman of Deloitte UK
since 2007. Prior to that, he led the UK member firm’s tax practice.
Renjen’s and Cruickshank’s leadership appointments are part of a rigorous,
comprehensive nomination and member firm partner-ratification process that occurs
every four years and includes all member firms of the Deloitte worldwide network.
During FY2015, Cathy Engelbert assumed the role of CEO for Deloitte US, and Cindy
Hook was elected Deloitte Australia’s new chief executive.
Each became the first
woman in her country’s history to lead a Big Four firm.
The bigger picture
Building careers

Strong governance and leadership structures help Deloitte member firms maintain
high levels of quality and integrity, allowing them to sustain the trust of their clients,
their people, the capital markets, and the public.
Having influence
that matters
As a global network comprising DTTL, its member firms, and each of their affiliates in
more than 150 countries and territories, Deloitte has governance and management
structures in place at both the global and member firm levels.
The DTTL Executive
The DTTL Executive, composed of 26 senior leaders from DTTL and certain member
firms across the global network, is responsible for embedding Deloitte’s Purpose
and achieving its aspirations and strategic priorities. The Executive sets policies and
champions initiatives that help the network make an impact that matters for member
firm clients, Deloitte talent, communities, and other stakeholders.
Deloitte Global Chief Executive Officer Punit Renjen, who began his four-year term on
1 June 2015, leads and manages this governing body. His appointment was ratified
by the partners of the individual member firms.
Renjen appoints the members of
the Executive, subject to approval by the Governance Committee of the DTTL Board
of Directors.
The roles and responsibilities of DTTL Executive members focus on key areas including
the following:
• Client leadership
The Clients & Industries leader helps ensure Deloitte member firms consistently
deliver exceptional quality, the best of Deloitte’s broad portfolio of services, and
deep industry and sector insights to clients around the globe.
• Business leadership
The Executive’s business leaders, representing Audit, Consulting, Enterprise Risk
Services, Financial Advisory, and Tax & Legal, focus on developing and scaling
innovative services in each of Deloitte’s core businesses to help member firm clients
address their most complex opportunities and challenges.
• Geographic leadership
The Executive’s geographic leadership includes the CEOs of 10 member firms, as
well as one managing director of the Regions (covering EMEA, the Americas, AsiaPacific). Together, they collaborate with other member firms’ CEOs and regional
leaders across the network to help promote global initiatives and capabilities that
benefit local markets.
• Talent leadership
The Executive’s Talent leader is charged with guiding the Deloitte network in
attracting, developing, and deploying the brightest minds. A key priority is to create
a highly inclusive, stimulating work environment while building a consistently high
level of skills for Deloitte people worldwide.
• Network leadership
The Executive provides guidance to the Deloitte network to help it operate
effectively and efficiently, seeking to consistently uphold the global brand, and
managing risk and evolving global developments.
Specific DTTL leadership roles
include Risk & Regulatory, General Counsel, and the Chief Operating Officer. In
addition, four DTTL Deputy CEOs serve as advisers and lead special projects.
The DTTL Executive meets live approximately six times during the year. A typical agenda
covers the organization’s priorities, current initiatives, and network matters—and every
agenda includes topics related to member firm clients and/or talent leadership.

The DTTL Operating Committee
Making an impact

At the beginning of his term, Renjen established a global Operating Committee
(effective 1 June 2015). The Operating Committee, composed of leaders from DTTL
and certain member firms aligned to the businesses, regions, and other key areas,
provides a vital link between strategy and execution that helps enable the network to
perform effectively and efficiently.

The Operating Committee is headed by DTTL Chief Operating Officer Frank Friedman.
Its members include, from DTTL, five global business operating leaders, three regional
leaders, the chief information officer, and leaders from Client & Industries, Talent,
Strategy & Brand, and Risk. It also includes a four-person council of executive member
firm COO representatives.
The DTTL Board
The Board of Directors is DTTL’s highest governing body. The Board addresses DTTL’s
most important governance issues, including global strategies, major transactions,
and the election of the CEO.
During FY2015, the Board’s 32 members represented
20 member firms across more than 100 countries and territories. Among the Board’s
committees is a standing Governance Committee, which exercises periodic oversight
of the management of DTTL.
David Cruickshank is the current Chairman of the DTTL Board. Like Renjen, he began
his four-year term of office on 1 June 2015.
Board members are appointed by individual member firms that are themselves
selected based on size, the number of significant clients they serve, and other
factors.
The Board also includes three regional seats, ensuring smaller member firms
are represented. Members of the DTTL Board are senior member firm partners or
principals and are usually on the executives or boards of their member firms.
Determinations regarding the allocation of DTTL Board seats are made by the Board
Composition Committee every four years with an interim review after two years.
Board composition is multicultural with a proportionate representation of member
firms. Gender is considered by member firms as they appoint individuals to these
positions.
There are currently six women board members, up from three in FY2015.
Members of the Governance Committee are drawn from the 12 member firms that
are considered to have the greatest impact on the network based on a number of
metrics including, but not restricted to, revenue. The Committee engages in open
discussions of issues and matters within its purview and makes recommendations to
the Board of Directors. Each committee member has one vote on matters considered
by the committee, except for the CEO, who is ex-officio.
To avoid conflicts of interest,
no member of the Governance Committee may also serve on the Executive, except for
the CEO.
The Board’s other subcommittees are responsible for considering and recommending
action on a wide range of issues falling within their remit. They include Board
Composition, Succession, Risk, Audit & Finance, Membership Affairs, and Chairman
and CEO Evaluation and CEO Compensation.
The Board performs an annual self-assessment to gather feedback on its collective
performance and identify potential areas for operational improvements. As its name
suggests, the Chairman and CEO Evaluation and CEO Compensation Committee
objectively evaluates the goals and objectives of the Chairman and CEO, and
recommends appropriate compensation for the CEO.
Member firm leadership
To foster effective and responsive management within member firms, DTTL has
adopted standards describing specific leadership and governance structures to be
implemented by member firms, including:
• A formal management structure, including an elected chief executive officer or
managing partner who is responsible for managing the member firm and working
with the member firm’s leaders to align its functional and client strategies with
DTTL; and
• A governing body, such as a board of directors, to facilitate sound governance of
the individual practice, including among other things the establishment of a formal
nominating committee process to select the chief executive officer or managing
partner of the member firm.

Deloitte network structure
Local knowledge, global capabilities
The Deloitte member firm structure is a source of great strength for the organization,
allowing us to deliver deep local market knowledge, capabilities, and relationships to
global clients, virtually anywhere in the world.
Deloitte member firms are independent, with local ownership and management that
are accountable for their member firms’ success. As members of the Deloitte network,
these firms benefit from shared activities, investments, and resources that enhance
their individual abilities to provide core services to key local and global clients. They
also are able to leverage Deloitte’s brand, eminence, and intellectual property.
The Deloitte organization continues to reinforce this differentiating structure and
achieve economies of scale with new centers of excellence, global delivery centers,
and other network approaches that are designed to deliver a consistent level of
excellence around the world. The network also is adopting new models for sharing
leading practices, technologies, back-office investments, and costs.
The bigger picture
Building careers
that matter
Having influence
that matters
The Deloitte network is made up of firms that are members of Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), a UK private company limited by guarantee.
This structure
allows the member firm network to be a leader at all levels—locally, nationally, and
globally—because its central governance policies are sensitive to the professional
environments and cultures of individual countries. Individual member firms have access
to the skills and knowledge of other member firms, the ability to consult within the
Deloitte network, and the benefit of the network’s market recognition and reputation.
DTTL itself does not provide services to clients.
Member firm structure
The partners of Deloitte member firms are generally the sole owners of their
respective member firms. The member firms are primarily organized on an individual
country or regional basis, and each operates within the legal and regulatory
framework of its particular jurisdiction(s).
They are separate and independent firms
that are owned and managed locally. These firms have come together to practice
under a common brand, methodologies, client service standards, and other
professional standards and guidelines.
The member firm structure supports compliance with rules of local ownership and
management governing the accountancy profession in many countries. It also reflects
the fact that the member firms are not subsidiaries or branch offices of a global
parent.
Rather, they are separate and distinct locally formed legal entities that have
voluntarily joined the network to coordinate their approach to client service.
This structure confers significant strengths: a deep understanding of local markets and
a sense of responsibility among member firms’ professionals, who have a direct stake
in the integrity and growth of their local practices.
Global cooperation
Deloitte member firms support and adhere to the purposes and policies of DTTL by:
• Conducting themselves in a manner that sustains the reputation of the Deloitte
member firm network;
• Aligning national plans, strategies, and operations with those of DTTL, as
appropriate, in consultation with DTTL’s executive management;
• Adhering to DTTL’s requirements regarding professional standards, shared Purpose,
methodologies, governance, and systems of quality control and risk; and
• Advising DTTL of all proposed joint ventures, joint practices, mergers, and other
cooperation arrangements and combinations of any type with other member firms, as
well as practice activity in jurisdictions other than those assigned to the member firm.

The question now—from Deloitte’s perspective—is, “How can cognitive computing
be used to benefit member firm clients and our network?” A software application
developed by the Deloitte US Innovation group, in close collaboration with the Audit
and Consulting M&A practices of Deloitte US, already is helping organizations save
time and money. Yet, to those who dream the future, it may be but an early step in a
long journey.
“We’re at the beginning of a true paradigm shift. Instead of merely querying
structured data, we are demanding insights from unstructured data that will inform
decision making,” says Forrest Danson, Deloitte US Principal and Analytics Integrated
Market Offering Leader. “Deloitte US is among the vanguard in this arena because
we understand how artificial intelligence (AI) and human know-how can combine
to achieve better outcomes for clients.
With our deep industry understanding and
experience integrating across our businesses, we are well-suited to harness the
power of cognitive computing.”
Understanding unstructured data
Unlike traditional computer systems that are programmed by people to perform
certain tasks, cognitive systems can learn from experience and instruction. The
power of cognitive computing is its ability to digest both structured and unstructured
data and draw conclusions from it, mimicking the human brain and performing
tasks that traditionally only people have been able to do. Feed the typical computer
spreadsheets and database files—structured data—and, depending on how it’s
programmed, it can provide valuable insights.
The challenge is, only about 20 percent
of available data are structured. The other 80 percent lives in word processing files,
emails, social posts, blogs, images, video, and other “unstructured” sources that, until
recently, could only be consumed and understood by humans.
Cognitive systems can process information far beyond human capabilities, identifying
patterns and providing potential solutions that humans might never recognize through
traditional analysis. “Cognitive computing holds the potential to reshape how work
gets done, how businesses grow, and how markets and industries evolve,” Danson
says.
“By learning through interactions, they deliver automated, evidence-based
responses that drive better outcomes.”

Mining data from contracts
One AI-enabled document-review platform developed by the Deloitte US Innovation
group, which went live in October 2014, automates the process of reading and
extracting critical information from contracts. By combining a third-party machinelearning algorithm with “training” provided by Deloitte US domain specialists, the
technology typically helps reduce time spent reviewing documents by 50 percent or
more, allowing users to focus on value-added analysis and interpretation activities.
“Teams review thousands of documents a year, so the time savings has a multiplicative
effect, driving an orders-of-magnitude improvement in efficiency,” says Craig
Muraskin, Deloitte US Innovation managing director.
“Also, the application’s analytics
and visualization features make it possible to analyze data extracted across the
entire population of contracts and documents, enabling users to quickly home in on
elements of potential risk and gain deeper insights.” What’s more, Muraskin adds, the
combination of machine and human reviewer tends to deliver higher consistency and
quality compared to a reviewer alone reading through numerous documents.
Many Deloitte US audit clients have been impressed with the application’s ability to
quickly identify differences between contracts based on key terms, as well as its ability
to search for specific clauses across a population of contracts—typically leading to
more meaningful insights throughout the audit process.

“The contract-review application is now firmly established as a transformative
capability with applications across audit, consulting, and advisory services. We’ve also
found it is equally useful for reviewing a variety of document types, including invoices,
financial statements, and board meeting minutes,” Muraskin says. “I’m confident we
will soon expand this platform to tackle other opportunities. There are multiple ways
our clients can benefit from this technology.”

“Our cooperation unites
the depth and breadth of IBM’s technology portfolio with Deloitte’s leading business
and technology consulting experience and industry knowledge. Through our ‘smarter
teaming’ approach, Deloitte and IBM are committed to extending Deloitte’s advanced
analytics capabilities by using cognitive computing to help bring solutions to member
firm clients.”

of our organizations.
We recognize there’s a virtue in coming together because,
as pre-eminent leaders in our professions, we can make a bigger impact working
together,” he says.

Deloitte was the only professional services organization selected for the inaugural
IBM Watson Ecosystem Board of Advisors, which shapes the direction and strategy
of the Ecosystem by offering external views on the marketplace and potential
opportunities for Ecosystem partners.
“We chose Deloitte because of its experience
at the intersection of business and technology, its knowledge of the Watson product,
and the value we’ve realized from our strategic and longstanding relationship,” says
Mike Rhodin, SVP, IBM Watson Group. Deloitte currently serves IBM as a client in
45 countries.
The IBM Watson Ecosystem is composed of tens of thousands of developers,
entrepreneurs, and other enthusiasts who have created thousands of apps via the
Watson Zone on Bluemix—IBM’s Platform as a Service (PaaS). Bluemix lets any
user tap into more than 100 development tools, which include Watson services, to
efficiently build, deploy, and manage apps across any cloud environment.
Leveraging cognitive for member firm clients
Deloitte is focused on using cognitive computing as a positive disruptor.
Member
firms are working with several vendors with niche capabilities that complement and
extend new cognitive abilities. “Our goal is to provide holistic cognitive and advanced
analytics solutions to help our clients make smarter decisions,” says Paul Roma,
Deloitte US Innovation leader and principal.
A tangible sign of the Deloitte US’s commitment is a recently established US$20 million
fund set up specifically to finance a new cognitive platform and develop solutions each
Deloitte US business can take to market. “This is a game changer for us,” Roma says.
“We are going to build our own platform, powered by cognitive computing vendors
and, using that platform, we will create and deploy new products for clients.
The fund
will be a real catalyst for innovation.”
Among Deloitte US’s highest priorities in this arena is exploring ways that cognitive
technologies could transform health care. Deloitte US is currently working with a
broad group of vendors and startups that are developing specific solutions based on
cognitive technologies.

Early applications being piloted among select US clients include an app that uses
machine learning to identify patients at risk of developing diabetes and offer insights
tailored to specific individuals. “This app goes beyond risk-group generalizations
and generic suggestions. Instead, it uses targeted insights to serve a party of one,”
explains Rajeev Ronanki, lead for Deloitte US’s Cognitive Computing practice. “Based
on people’s medical histories and behaviors, it even can predict who will likely
respond to intervention and who may need more convincing.”
Another offering, recognizing a general shift toward a consumer-centric model in
health care in the US, is using cognitive capabilities to help a large health plan provider
retain customers and reduce turnover.
And still another solution is using naturallanguage processing, probability models, and machine learning to help revolutionize
what today is typically a very manual—and often frustrating—prescription
preauthorization process.
As cognitive computing technology matures and Deloitte’s experience grows, the
way member firms explore and deliver cognitive-related services will likely continue
to evolve. “We expect the market to grow dramatically as capabilities develop
and people find practical ways to apply cognitive computing to address business
problems,” says Nitin Mittal, Principal and Advanced Analytics Technology Leader,
Deloitte US. “As a global network of firms with deep industry knowledge, Deloitte
is optimistic about the remarkable capabilities cognitive computing can offer.
But,
Deloitte needs to weave such technologies into our existing competencies to provide
innovative cognitive solutions to member firm clients.”

High-voltage expansion
State grid’s landmark acquisitions send a jolt through global
electricity industry
State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) didn’t exist before December 2002. Today,
based on revenues, it’s the largest utility in the world and ranks seventh on the
Fortune Global 500®.
When you’re constructing and operating power grids in one of the most rapidly
developing major economies on earth—and doing it effectively with a focus on
safety and sustainability—growth comes with the territory. SGCC’s success is about
much more than being in the right place at the right time, though. Like many Chinese
enterprises, it’s an active and direct investor in foreign businesses, consistent with the
nation’s “Go Out Policy.”
That’s where Deloitte comes in.
This past year, Deloitte China was engaged by SGCC to provide a suite of advisory
services—including financial and tax due diligence, valuation and structuring services,
and negotiation support—to inform and facilitate SGCC’s purchase of a 35 percent
stake in an Italian energy company, CDP Reti, from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP).
A
year earlier, Deloitte China provided similar support for the purchase of a 19.9 percent
stake in Australian electricity supplier SP AusNet, as well as SGCC’s purchase of
60 percent of SPI Australia’s energy infrastructure.

“These transactions demonstrate the impact and value of Deloitte’s multidisciplinary
model, our cross-border reach, and our knowledge of the energy and resources
industry,” says Eric Leung, Southern Region Functional Leader of Financial Advisory
Services, Deloitte China.
“We not only are well positioned to meet the complex needs
of large organizations such as State Grid, but we also have a solid track record of
helping Chinese companies achieve the foreign expansion they desire.”
The US$2.81 billion acquisition of CDP Reti was, at the time, the largest ever made
by Chinese investors in a nonlisted European company. It also was the largest single
overseas investment made by SGCC and the largest investment made in Italy by a
Chinese enterprise. The acquisitions of the Australian power companies combined to
be the largest-ever outbound investment in China’s power and infrastructure sector.
Accounting Advisory, Tax, Financial Advisory, Consulting, and Enterprise Risk
Management professionals from Deloitte China received assists from member firms
in Australia, Italy, and the UK during the engagements.
“When you can reach out
to people who know the laws and customs in other countries, and are familiar with
the companies involved in the transactions, it makes the process infinitely more
manageable,” Leung explains.
In addition to serving SGCC on landmark cross-border acquisitions that are transforming
the profile of the global electricity transmission and distribution industry, Deloitte China
was selected by State Grid Xinyuan Company Ltd. (SGXY), a wholly owned subsidiary
of SGCC, to provide Accounting Advisory services this past year in preparation for its
implementation of a new financial standard.
“When you demonstrate to clients that you can be counted on, they will consider
you for their other business challenges. That gives Deloitte an advantage because the
Deloitte network is composed of world-class businesses that work well together,”
Leung says.
“Meeting multiple service needs is how we build long-term trust and longterm relationships, which are especially valuable with large, market-leading clients.”

Cybersecurity is a team sport
Former public-sector professionals help clients integrate
resilience across the board
Mary Galligan supervised the US Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) inquiry into the
Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. She later served as special agent in charge of cyber
and special operations in the FBI’s New York office, where she led the largest technical
and physical surveillance operation in the agency.
John Gelinne was chief of staff and third in command of the US Navy’s Cyber Fleet,
conducting full-spectrum cyber operations, shaping the Navy’s cyberspace workforce,
and driving the integration of cyberspace capabilities and technologies into the Navy’s
operational environment.
Beyond their impressive résumés and shared passion for combating cyber threats,
Galligan and Gelinne have something else in common. Both are now directors in the
Deloitte Cyber Risk Services practice in the US.
“We’re thrilled they made that choice.
I’m sure they both had many attractive
career options where they could leverage their unique skill sets, experiences, and
valuable networks,” says Ted DeZabala, Deloitte Global Cyber Risk Services leader.
“Professionals like John and Mary, and many others with distinguished cyber risk
credentials, give Deloitte a tangible advantage in this space.”
Before joining the Deloitte Cyber Risk Services
practice in the US, John Gelinne was chief of
staff and third in command of the US Navy’s
Cyber Fleet.
Mary Galligan formerly served as special
agent in charge of cyber and special
operations in the US Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s New York office.
Building resiliency among clients
Deloitte believes cyber has become a strategically important business risk issue, and
that companies need to be “secure, vigilant, and resilient” to effectively manage risks.
“Our Cyber Risk Services professionals are dedicated to helping organizations protect
information assets, be aware of the rapidly evolving threat landscape, and respond to
and recover from incidents that are becoming increasingly inevitable,” DeZabala explains.
“Professionals, like Mary and John, know from past experience that despite everyone’s
best efforts, breaches do occur. That is why they are dedicated to resiliency,” he
continues. “How damaging breaches become can depend, in part, on how rapidly
the situation can be analyzed, how decisively leaders take action, and how effectively
teams interact with customers, media, legal counsel, law enforcement, and industry
peers.
How you respond defines you in the marketplace. Resilient services help clients
be prepared to respond.”
In helping clients prepare, Gelinne draws on the military readiness model he knows
well. “Before a ship is deployed, we have to ensure it is ready to perform,” he says.
“To do so, we assess our resilience level; build capabilities through training; conduct
a validation-certification exercise; and implement sustainment activities to stay ready,
fix weaknesses, and maintain strengths.
Deloitte is advancing that same methodology
within Cyber Risk Services.”
This four-step approach can help organizations at all stages of maturity attain and
maintain a targeted level of cyber resilience through cyber wargaming and simulation,
disaster recovery planning, incident response, and business recovery services.

“I was attracted to this role, in part, because I share my colleagues’ holistic approach
to cyber incident response,” Gelinne says. “We understand cyber breaches aren’t
just a technologist’s problem. Our approach is designed to prepare and validate an
organization’s overall cyber resilience from the boardroom, to the war room, to the
individual employee, to the organization’s stakeholders and customers.”

Galligan, who spends much of her time educating clients’ board members and senior
executives about the risks their organizations face, agrees. “Deloitte helps clients focus
on what matters most from both a business and technology risk perspective, and then
provides tailored and cost-effective solutions,” she says.
“Beyond that, what stands
out to me is the trust clients place in Deloitte. Because our professionals serve so many
among the Fortune Global 500®, there isn’t much we haven’t seen. Clients value that,
and respect the knowledge we have about their organizations and industries.”
That knowledge is especially evident in cyber wargaming.
“Many consultants offer
wargaming, but for most, it’s a tabletop discussion versus a true wargame that really
tests a client’s full response capabilities,” Galligan says. Adds Gelinne: “Cybersecurity is
a team sport. It takes all hands on-deck to be successful.
So, when Cyber Risk Services
tailors wargames for clients—which we customize to each client’s industry and build
in probable scenarios, drawn from real-life experiences and client situations—we bring
the whole organization to the table and aggressively test their response plans and
communications channels.”
Galligan says requests for cyber wargaming continue to increase, in part, because
regulators are writing stricter, new guidelines urging organizations to not only have
resiliency plans in place, but also have them tested—preferably by objective, third
parties like Deloitte.
“With cyber attacks in the headlines so frequently, fear of a major incident often
drives investment. But, we encourage our clients to consider cyber risk as a positive
component of their forward-looking initiatives,” Galligan says. “Organizations
constantly create advantages through new technologies, expansion, mergers and
acquisitions, new customer-engagement models, and more.
Managing cyber risks
is critical to the success of these moves. Threat actors can steal information, disrupt
operations, corrupt data, shut down controls, and destroy clients’ systems.
“Organizations need to tighten up how they address those risks. This is a strategic
concern, not just a technology concern,” she continues.
“There’s a lot of selfgratification in being able to help clients transform their approaches. I spent 25 years
with the FBI helping people, and I’m glad I’m still doing that with Deloitte US.”

Biggest implementation ever? No problem!
Hewlett-Packard human capital project is one
for the record books
Hewlett-Packard’s (HP) human resources team wanted to foster a culture of selfservice among its 300,000-plus employees and managers, but there was a problem.
Actually, there were a few problems.
The global technology giant had a dated and highly customized legacy human capital
management (HCM) platform that was so unwieldy, some critical human resource
processes were actually handled offline because it was simply easier that way.
What’s more, because HP operated in 106 countries, its HR department was forced
to juggle a multitude of regional laws and customs. Since HP’s HCM services were not
configured to support regional needs, many employees and managers maintained
shadow systems. The cumulative result was poor data integrity and rampant
management issues.
A new, cloud-based HCM system provided by software vendor Workday, Inc., offered
what HP was seeking to support the re-engineering of its business processes. “It
would allow HP to standardize global processes, configure services for regional needs,
enable accurate reporting, deliver an intuitive end-user experience, and enable HP to
proactively analyze and manage talent,” says Brian Borzone, Human Capital principal,
Deloitte US.
“It also would be more efficient. There was one 45-minute legacy HR
transaction that was re-engineered with Workday’s system to take only 90 seconds to
complete—and HP completes that task 50,000 times a year.”
Workday’s HCM system would pay for itself over the long term, but HP knew
the implementation would be tremendously complex. Scott Spradley, HP’s Chief
Information Officer and Vice President of Global Functions, knew he needed
additional support.
So, he turned to a longtime service provider. “Deloitte has
significant Workday experience, as well as best-practice methodologies for
organizational transformation, HR service delivery, and reporting and analytics,”
Spradley says. “The trust I have in Deloitte gave me the confidence to take on our
toughest transformation challenge to date.”
“We excel at delivering the Workday-enabled solutions our clients need, when and
how they need it,” Borzone says.
“We don’t subscribe to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model,
which I think is a big reason Deloitte is recognized globally as a leader in Workday HR
and Finance consulting services.”

Teamwork tames the beast
HP leadership set an aggressive 15-month timeline for the implementation, which
ultimately would be the largest Workday cloud HCM deployment ever to date.
The HP and Deloitte transformation team facilitated regional configuration sessions
with key HP staff, including HR administrators and members of the HP Global Shared
Services group. Through these sessions, HP realized immediate operational efficiencies.
“We didn’t just build a thoughtful prototype. We also transferred knowledge to a
significant number of employees who would later be responsible for supporting the
platform post-deployment,” Spradley explains.
Working collaboratively, HP and Deloitte achieved key project goals on schedule,
optimizing HP’s ability to manage and retain talent, enable effective decision making,
and give significant time back to the HP workforce. A worldwide, big-bang release
was more of a whimper, at least in terms of problems.
HP actually scaled back its
beefed-up call center staffing after just two days. “This was the first confirmation that
we had done things incredibly right,” Spradley says.
HP employees immediately embraced the new platform, which soon began delivering its
promised benefits. Since the 2014 launch, HP has begun decommissioning more than
100 systems and 300 reports; reduced HR service desk call volume from 1,050 tickets
per day to 43; standardized 86 manager and employee processes in 106 countries;
and experienced an increase in user satisfaction rates from 60 percent to 85 percent.

Fresh perspectives enhance the audit
Innovative techniques and tools appeal to younger,
tech-savvy professionals
On career days at primary schools around the world, budding athletes and actors,
doctors and dancers, pilots and police officers wait anxiously to tell classmates about
their dreams. Pint-sized auditors and accountants? Nowhere to be found. But the
evolving nature of the audit and the vital role auditors play in supporting the countless
financial decisions made every day makes the vocation significantly more attractive to
both students and young professionals.
“Deloitte professionals are proud of being pre-eminent providers of audit services
and take their obligations to the investing public and capital markets very seriously.
As stakeholders are demanding more confidence and value from the audit, Deloitte
is investing in innovative tools and approaches to provide new and more astute audit
capabilities,” says Panos Kakoullis, Deloitte Global Audit Leader. “Emerging technologies
such as data analytics, visualization techniques, and even artificial intelligence are
dramatically changing the way Deloitte is able to approach and conduct audits.
These
are driving opportunities for improved business performance, revealing more meaningful
insights that benefit all stakeholders and support our continued emphasis on quality.”
“Our focus on innovation has produced a more exciting work environment, one that is
engaging tech-savvy millennials. They relish the challenge of using technology to solve
problems and reinvent processes,” adds Chris Thatcher, Deloitte Global Audit Innovation
Leader. “Just as importantly, they bring fresh perspectives to a traditional field and add
value that member firm clients maybe didn’t expect, but really appreciate.”
The future is here
With a rapidly changing regulatory environment, increasing client demands, and new
technologies, the profession is in a state of change, challenging Deloitte to deliver a
differentiated audit.
The “audit of the future” is no longer conceptual.
Advancements of cognitive
technologies, including artificial intelligence, are presenting new opportunities to
enhance audit quality, automate processes, and ultimately transform how an audit
is performed. “Natural-language processing, advanced data analytics, and machinelearning technologies are examples of how we are automating and streamlining laborintensive processes,” explains Jon Raphael, Audit Chief Innovation Officer, Deloitte US.
“This provides more opportunities to allocate time to higher value-added areas, enabling
auditors to apply their professional judgment and uncover new insights to deliver value
beyond compliance.”

Deloitte is actively enabling widespread and consistent use of audit innovations among
its member firms to enhance both audit quality and consistency in engagements, create
effectiveness for audit practitioners, and provide clients with the deeper understanding
they want and expect. Deloitte innovation teams in many countries are leveraging
breakthroughs to push the limits of traditional audits, and developing a wide range of
next-generation supporting audit applications. “Best-of-breed” local audit tools that are
being scaled for use across the network include:
• Powerful artificial intelligence applications that interrogate client electronic
documentation using advanced machine-learning techniques and natural-language
processing to quickly identify, analyze and extract key information;
• A mobile app that enables physical inventory observations from smartphones—
including barcode scanning and voice-to-text technology—that transmits results in
real-time, allowing corporate audit teams to monitor and review location counts as
they happen;
• A diagnostics tool that uses visualization to understand and identify issues in
clients’ finance functions and benchmark results against their competitors and
the market; and
• A suite of analytic solutions with built-in tests for a range of risks and account
balances that can be applied throughout the audit. This includes support for
extracting and analyzing client data and automating relevant reconciliations,
completeness, and integrity checks, simplifying many of the pain points that
have historically plagued the acquisition of data.
These tools support viewing and
testing large amounts of data in a way that allows for quick and easy identification
of unusual patterns, providing a more robust understanding and analysis. The
visualizations make it easier to identify risks, spot trends, anomalies, and uncover
other pertinent information that can lead to valuable client insights.
“These advanced capabilities allow client data to be brought to life, telling more
compelling stories, enhancing the risk-assessment process, and revealing hidden
patterns, outliers, and insights,” Raphael says.
Developing auditors for today and the future
Audits that are broader and deeper require professionals with expanded skills. This
means developing auditors with the experience in specialized areas—including those
not covered by a traditional audit—as well as advanced skills such as data science,
analytics, and visualization.
In response, the Deloitte network is enhancing its talent
model to recruit and develop the auditors of the future.
Auditors may soon be able
to provide clients with new
ways to uncover risk hiding
in plain sight in financial
statements. To learn more,

Recognizing audit curriculums have fallen behind the curve in some countries, Deloitte
member firms are also working with universities to advance audit education that focus
on new technologies and capabilities appealing to a younger generation. For example,
the Deloitte Israel innovation practice, together with one of Israel’s largest universities,
established a first-of-its-kind “Accounting and Technologies” bachelor of arts program.
The program is the first step in a Deloitte Israel strategic plan which will also include
active investments in disruptive audit technologies.
“Through initiatives like Deloitte Israel’s and other talent programs across the network,
Deloitte will nurture a new breed of future accountants,” says Chris Powell, Deloitte
Global Audit Talent Leader.
“We believe this will reshape the accounting landscape,
while strengthening Deloitte’s position as an innovator in the audit world.”
Deloitte’s unwavering commitment to consistent high-quality audits and focus on
delivering an innovative experience is the future of audit. For Deloitte, the future is now.

Crises are certain, survival is not
Equipping clients to prepare for disasters,
bounce back strong
When crises come knocking, an organization’s operations, reputation, and often its
very survival hang in the balance. These unwanted visitors will likely arrive at every
company’s doorstep; the Aon-sponsored 2012 Reputation Review report issued by
Oxford Metrica says businesses can expect a value-destroying catastrophe once every
five years. In 2012 and 2013 alone, according to research conducted by Deloitte US,
companies in the US lost US$350 billion in market valuation and suffered more than
US$45 billion in losses, fines, and penalties due to such calamities.
Not only are the frequency and magnitude of crises increasing, but the array
of emergencies also continues to expand and evolve. Organizations that once
viewed crisis management as a matter of recovery from physical disasters, such as
earthquakes and floods, are quickly realizing that any number of threats—including
terrorist attacks, cyber breaches, industrial explosions, and wide-scale employee
fraud—can rear up suddenly to upend the ordinary course of business.
Crises today require active leadership from top management, but for even the best
managers, unexpected disasters can be a shock, often inducing confusion rather
than a cool-headed response—and understandably so.
“Managing crises calls upon
different skills from managing at other times,” says Peter Dent, Deloitte Global Crisis
Management Leader. “But, those organizations who do it well and take control have a
chance to emerge stronger by seizing the opportunity to make needed changes.”
Experience matters
Research shows that companies that have navigated effectively through crises before
are best equipped to lead when disaster strikes next, embarking more quickly on a
strategic plan to regain control. “When the moment arrives, experience matters,”
Dent says.
“If a company doesn’t have it, there is tremendous value in teaming up
with a leader like Deloitte.”
With decades of crisis-fighting experience, Deloitte member firm professionals have
played a crucial role helping clients over the years prepare for, respond to, and recover
from their darkest hours. Dent says, “Deloitte’s crisis specialists have helped member
firm clients in different industries worldwide face down some of the biggest tests in
their histories—bankruptcies, regulatory challenges, cyberattacks, and much more.”
This support was amplified in FY2015 when Deloitte collected its crisis specialists
from across the globe into a multidisciplinary market offering. “By creating a closeknit community of crisis management specialists in nearly 150 countries across our
member firm network, Deloitte can more easily provide end-to-end business support
before, during, and after a crisis with the industry-specific and functional skills needed
in each case,” explains Rhoda Woo, Enterprise Risk Management director and crisis
management leader, Deloitte US.
“We can make a more powerful impact by filling a
need in the market for an organization with Deloitte’s know-how and global reach to
help clients tackle the inevitable.”

Deloitte offers clients a full spectrum of crisis management services, from training
exercises for top leadership to real-time crisis response and post-crisis repair and
reform. “With an organization primed for crisis response, Deloitte can pull from its
team of crisis specialists at a moment’s notice to help clients with real-time response,
crisis communications, around-the-clock monitoring, and business viability at the
height of crisis, as well as help guide organizations through effective solutions
and needed reforms in the aftermath,” says Rick Cudworth, Resilience & Crisis
Management leader at Deloitte UK.
Wargaming tests preparedness
Deloitte’s Global Center for Crisis Management helps professionals within our
member firm network, who conduct rigorous simulation exercises based on advanced
methodologies from the military and academia, to better prepare client company
leaders. Identifying crises that might realistically strike an organization, Deloitte
creates immersive scenarios featuring the client’s C-Suite executives, board members,
and other top leaders in action, along with its larger crisis-response teams, providing
essential players with greater experience to manage major threats in the future.
“Our approach is based on a distinct combination of military and academic rigor and
our own business experience,” says Woo. “Our simulations lay a solid foundation for
everything that follows.
Theoretical threats become more real and vivid, potential risks
are more tangible, and people walk away with a greater understanding of the roles
they will play when the stakes are highest.”
Adds John Bone, specialist leader and wargame functional lead for Deloitte US, “Deloitte
has the global, multi-industry, senior-level proficiency that can help organizations
determine how to improve their procedures and outcomes, and the red-team specialists
who have worked at senior levels at competitive institutions to help an organization
understand the pushback it may face and how competitors may respond.”

Transforming Lundin’s Shelf interests
Deloitte Norway helps oil explorer build
a platform for growth
Three years after it was founded, Lundin Norway struck oil in its first exploration
well on the Norwegian continental shelf. The 2007 discovery at the Utsira High area
in the North Sea revealed a substantial reservoir, kick-starting Lundin’s Edvard Grieg
development.
Five subsequent finds followed on the shelf for Lundin, including the giant Johan
Sverdrup discovery. Since its first strike eight years ago, Lundin can take credit for
half of the resources found on the shelf.
Its stunning success rate and growing resource base fueled an idea among the
company’s leaders, who recognized an opportunity to blossom into a full-scale
exploration and production company. Lundin submitted a plan for developing and
operating the Edvard Grieg field, and following its approval by authorities in 2012,
the company was set to become the operator of a manned offshore installation.
“At that point, Lundin was starting with a small, yet highly experienced, team with a
goal of commencing production by late 2015.
This was extremely ambitious,” explains
Svenn Erik Edal, Nordic Oil & Gas Industry leader, Deloitte Norway. “But, they didn’t
want to take any shortcuts. They had an opportunity to build an operating model
that was process-oriented, cost-effective, and promoted safety from day one.”
Making ambition a reality
Lundin management turned to Deloitte Norway for guidance in building its offshore
operations organization.
“We had the industry knowledge they needed, along with
Deloitte Norway personnel who have years of operational experience on the shelf,”
Edal says. “We also had done similar work with other operations, developed a
methodology based on leading practices, and offered Lundin new ways of thinking
to help ensure a culture with strict focus on continuous improvement.”

Deloitte Norway professionals worked with Lundin to identify the priority operational
and support processes necessary for startup and operation of its Edvard Grieg field.
The Deloitte Norway team was immersed in all phases of the process, from helping
Lundin identify regulatory requirements and analyze occupational risks to developing
workflows and key performance indicators.
To improve work processes and implement barriers to reduce risks at the offshore
facility, Deloitte Norway categorized all reported industry incidents and accidents on
the Norwegian shelf, analyzed those events, and linked them to the work processes
where they occurred. “This is work with risks attached, and due to dramatically
fluctuating price levels and costs, operational efficiency and safety are crucial to this
industry,” Edal says.
“We have gone to great lengths to help Lundin ensure that when
production commences, risks will be mitigated and Lundin will achieve its goal of
being a best-in-class operation.”

Lundin’s first manned offshore facility is projected to begin producing its first barrels of
crude oil in late 2015. The company’s management team, however, already considers
the project a tremendous success.
“Assisted by Deloitte Norway, we were able to transform a small operations team
into a lean, safe, full-scale production company with the right organization and
infrastructure in place in less than three years,” says Kari Nielsen, head of field
operations for Lundin Norway. “Deloitte Norway not only has experienced oil and gas
industry advisors, but it also offers high-value services that we see from no one else.
They brought the toolbox, solutions, and strategic thinking we needed to assist us
every step of the way.”

Just what the doctor ordered
Deloitte Ireland-aided restructuring program key to client’s
turnaround, growth
Sometimes, it’s necessary for a company to take a step back before it can take
two steps forward. Just ask the leaders of the Uniphar Group, a leading provider
within the pharmaceutical and health care sector in Ireland.
In 2011, the combination of loan debt and high overhead was making it difficult
for Uniphar to capitalize on growth opportunities. Just three years later, against a
challenging economic backdrop, its annual revenues increased almost 60 percent,
earnings were up 75 percent, and debt decreased by about a third. It also completed
a major acquisition and initiated an SAP implementation across the organization.
Along the way, Deloitte Ireland has played a key role in Uniphar’s resurgence.
Deloitte again named a global
leader in SAP Implementation
Services by Gartner.
“Our corporate finance team was hired in 2011 by two Irish banks to complete
an extensive review of Uniphar’s financial health and assist with negotiating a
restructuring of the company’s existing loans to harness growth opportunities in
the market,” explains David Carson, Deloitte Ireland’s lead client service partner
for Uniphar.
“By 2013, those banks were willing to fund Uniphar’s US$54.3 million
acquisition of pharmaceutical wholesaler Cahill May Roberts (CMR). That speaks volumes
about the progress Uniphar made and the trust the banks had in its management team.”
Deloitte Ireland corporate finance provided due diligence services on the acquisition.

Implementation Services, Worldwide, July 23, 2015.
Shortly after the CMR deal closed, Uniphar conducted a series of road shows
for customers and existing shareholders—the community pharmacists who
own Uniphar—seeking US$22.5 million in equity investments to strengthen its
balance sheet and improve its net debt-to-equity ratio. The share issue was heavily
oversubscribed, leading the company’s board of directors to expand the maximum
threshold to US$28.1 million.
The board had to refuse about US$9 million in funding
from outside investors.
The scale and agility to compete
The capital infusion helped Uniphar pay back slightly more than half of its
CMR-acquisition loans. Meanwhile, Uniphar management was working to efficiently
integrate the Uniphar and CMR organizations. “There were many similarities between
the companies’ operations, creating both overlap and opportunities to build
synergies,” Carson says.
“With an initial assist from Deloitte Ireland, the organization
has been able to reduce overhead by more than 40 percent over the past three years.”
Carson is particularly proud that employee retention remained high throughout the
integration. “This sector is dependent on relationships and customer knowledge, so
losing employees to competitors could have impacted their competitive edge in the
market,” he says. “If Uniphar had not retained employees at such high levels, it is likely
they would not have been able to complete the integration as quickly as they did.”

Providers in Asia Pacific, Q2 2015.
While the integration progressed,
Uniphar hired Deloitte Ireland’s
consulting group to implement
SAP across all areas of its business.
“The SAP project involved
implementing a single, integrated
system to manage Uniphar’s
procurement, sales ordering,
accounting, and human resource
processes,” Carson explains.
The implementation process is
expected to be completed in 2015.
“Deloitte Ireland has been a valued adviser throughout the past three years.
With the
CMR integration completed and the SAP implementation nearing an end, we now
have the scale to compete and the operational agility to meet the challenges of what
remains a difficult market environment,” says Gerard Rabbette, Uniphar Group Chief
Executive Officer. “Uniphar has a clean bill of health, and our senior team can focus
on the development of our core business.”

Driving sensible solutions
Deloitte puts the Internet of Things to work for motorists
Someday, “drivers” will get comfortable behind nonexistent steering wheels, tell their
cars where they want to go, and let lasers, sensors, and global positioning systems
take over. For now, though, humans are still in charge. And humans are fallible. They
drive aggressively.
Get tired. Jam city streets.
Until driverless cars are bug-free, affordable, and widespread, Deloitte is using
ambient computing technology to help make driving safer and less frustrating.
“Ambient computing is the backdrop of sensors, devices, intelligence, and agents
that puts the Internet of Things to work,” explains Royston Seaward, partner, Deloitte
Digital practice in Deloitte UK. “We’re using the sensor data and the connected
devices that are out there, applying analytics, and developing solutions that are
designed to benefit consumers, clients, and society at large.”
Deloitte Digital in the UK has been working with clients to establish real-time analytics
tools that give traffic managers the information they need to keep traffic moving.
These tools are built to understand dynamic changes in traffic flows by mode.
With
the information they provide, traffic managers can make timely interventions to
improve journey time reliability and alleviate congestion.
These tools build on current sensor capability provided by cameras, counter sites, and
strategically placed adaptive traffic control system loops. Data from millions of vehicle
captures per day is processed continuously to provide a holistic view of the traffic
network. Data also can be compared with vehicle databases, providing new insights
into vehicle journeys.
“Our tools have intuitive and simple-to-use graphical formats to give clients a realtime view of traffic,” explains Simon Dixon, Deloitte UK Public Sector Transport leader.
“This is helpful during large sporting events, for example, and especially critical when
trying to minimize the potential congestion caused by major construction projects.”
Deloitte UK teams also are working with clients to develop and install digital devices
in public vehicles that monitor driving time and other measurements, protecting
passengers and the public by making sure that their drivers meet safety regulations.
They are also designed to help eliminate the potential for fraud and errors.
Changing driving behaviors
A similar kind of telematics is beginning to help auto insurers adopt usage-based
insurance (UBI) that more closely aligns premium rates with driving behaviors.
Some larger insurers have introduced devices that plug into vehicles, record driver
performance, and leverage the huge amounts of data collected in ways that can
benefit both drivers and insurers.
Until recently, small and midsize insurers didn’t have
the scale that allowed them to offer a competing product.
D-rive, a telematics services business
developed primarily by Deloitte US,
changed that. “With D-rive, smaller
insurers have access to a tremendous
amount of information they can use to
determine discounts and provide valueadded services,” says Bill Mullaney,
Deloitte US director. “This allows them
to get in the UBI game quickly and cost
effectively, and helps level the field so
they’re not crowded out of the market.”
While the focus currently is on personal
insurance, D-rive also can be used with
commercial fleets.
D-rive is available to motorists whose auto insurers participate in the program.
It is
a differentiated solution because it collects data via smart phones instead of plug-in
devices, further reducing participation costs. “The app operates in the background,
and at the end of trips, drivers get feedback and learn more about their driving
behaviors,” Mullaney says. Over time, as sufficient data are collected for individuals,
scores are shared with insurers so they can decide if discounts are warranted.
“Millennials especially like this technology because they’re more digitally savvy and
not afraid to trade data for value,” Mullaney adds.
“We saw in our pilot programs
that having D-rive does help make people drive more safely, and that pays off in
multiple ways.”
Seaward understands that opportunities to leverage the tremendous growth of
embedded sensors and connected devices are almost limitless, if approached properly.
“Whether we’re talking public sector, insurance, retail, manufacturing, or health care,
translating possibilities into impact requires bringing smarter ‘things’ together with
analytics, security, data, and integration platforms to make the disparate parts work
seamlessly with each other,” he says. “Right now, few organizations can do that as
well as Deloitte.”

Guarding client confidentiality
Advanced measures let Deloitte combat cybercriminals,
protect data
A number of high-visibility cyberattacks on well-known global companies in FY2015 not
only resulted in the very public dissemination of personal and confidential information,
but they also served as reminders to Deloitte that data security begins at home.
As a network, we must be prepared for attempted incursions from every direction.
So, DTTL’s global policy on information security requires member firms to institute
a wide range of security measures, covering areas such as virus protection, data
backup and recovery, encryption, password authentication, access to systems, and
network security. These actions are critical to safeguarding and appropriately using
confidential information, confronting ongoing threats, and meeting member firm
client expectations.
Confidentiality is not a one-time investment, or a one-off compliance or risk activity. It
is an ongoing, evergreen process that must be done in a holistic way; an accountwide
transformation that enhances member firms’ ability to deliver seamless, global
client service.
To this end, DTTL currently is rolling out a Confidential Information (CI) program to its
member firms around the globe. It is a strategic initiative, driven by network leading
practices and consistent standards, aimed at safeguarding confidential information
at the client account and engagement levels.
Furthermore, the CI program instils
a culture of accountability and proactive management of confidential information.
The CI program was piloted by Deloitte US in 2014, and since then, it has been
implemented in more than 250 member firm client accounts covering close to
1,000 member firm client engagements.
The bigger picture
Deloitte seeks to become the profession’s leader in setting the standard for
protecting confidential information. The Deloitte network aspires to always operate in
accordance with the highest ethical standards and in a manner that fosters trust and
inspires confidence in everything we do. Deloitte member firms are intensely active
in helping business and government institutions predict, prepare for, and fight online
attacks and build cyber resilience.
This vigilance begins internally, where it’s critical
that Deloitte protects its own data and the information it holds on its people and
member firm clients.
The regulatory environment is becoming more and more complex. Global
organizations are increasingly subject to privacy, cyber, and industry-specific laws
impacting how they use and protect information. Privacy and information security,
therefore, remain a business imperative for Deloitte and its member firm clients while
navigating multiple requirements and striving to ensure that Deloitte consistently
protects information across the network.
Deloitte member firm compliance with security policies is tracked through an annual
information technology standards, risk, and maturity assessment.
Compliance with
security policies at the global hosting center level is monitored through the DTTL
Global Technology Services (GTS) Security Forum.
Security strategy
DTTL’s Global Chief Information Security Officer works with member firms to drive
implementation of a new, more aggressive information security strategy focusing
on the protection of member firm clients, Deloitte people, and the Deloitte brand
worldwide. The strategy guides Deloitte in:
• Creating a cohesive, worldwide program with common, consistent security services,
rather than disparate member firm products and implementations;
• Extending security tools for advanced protection of highly distributed data worldwide;
• Reducing confidential data loss through practitioner actions;
• Investing in security services and concentrating on cost effectiveness through
economies of scale, consistency, and cost savings by utilizing shared services;
• Eliciting strong member firm participation in the implementation of the strategy
through standardized global security governance and delivery.

A global application-testing framework was adopted in FY2014, allowing greater
capability in providing assurance that Deloitte’s in-house applications are protecting
client data.
Privacy
New data-protection rules planned in Europe are likely to require organizationwide
changes. DTTL is currently reviewing many of its internal processes to ensure its
privacy program conforms with leading practices in accountability for data-protection
compliance. The DTTL privacy office is working closely with its public policy and
regulatory teams to monitor and address new privacy developments impacting Deloitte
and its member firm clients. DTTL’s information security specialists provide guidance to
member firms to strengthen their information security regimes when necessary.
Education and awareness
Deloitte continually provides security education programs for member firm
practitioners and security professionals.
All GTS staff globally are required to fulfill
40 hours of annual learning, and several have obtained globally recognized security
certifications. Since October 2013, six annual regional security workshops—two
in each of the network’s three regions—have been conducted for in-house Deloitte
security professionals. In October 2014, a weeklong global security awareness campaign
was held to enhance practitioner security awareness; it reached more than 80 percent
of the Deloitte network’s global talent.
Emphasis on confidentiality
As a world-class organization, there are certain things we must do exceptionally
well.
Safeguarding Deloitte and member firm clients’ confidential information is
a key example, and is a fundamental professional responsibility. Deloitte is in the
relationship business, and trust is vital—trust that we safeguard and appropriately use
confidential information.
The Deloitte network is dedicated to continually improving how it safeguards and
protects confidential information by investing in people, processes, and technology.
Like many organizations, Deloitte is aggressively assessing, testing, and adopting
new technologies and services to understand how it can meet or exceed privacy and
security standards.
DTTL added a new Global Confidentiality Office and chief confidentiality officer (CCO)
who reports to DTTL’s chief risk officer. The CCO’s mission is to create and sustain a
culture of confidentiality, built on Deloitte’s values, with confidentiality embedded in
everything Deloitte does.
DTTL is one of the leading organizations in the world that has a CCO.
Pursuant to new
confidentiality initiatives, most member firms have already appointed and established
CCO roles locally to drive confidentiality initiatives at the member firm level.
Protecting information across jurisdictions
Because many member firm clients are multinational organizations that expect
seamless and safe data transfers as part of service delivery, Deloitte makes every effort
to serve them adeptly and professionally around the world. A core element of this
service is managing the movement and transfer of personal information and striving
to ensure its protection across all jurisdictions. Deloitte continues to review available
mechanisms to facilitate and safeguard data transfers, including Binding Corporate
Rules (BCRs), BCRs for Processors, Safe Harbor, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Cross-Border Privacy Rules, and privacy seals.
Member firm clients rightly
expect that Deloitte will be able to assist them in complying with privacy laws, both
now and in the future.

Acting ahead of change
Risk-intelligent approach promotes delivery of consistent,
high-quality client services
In today’s business world, risk is everywhere.
Is our technology safe? How will regulatory changes impact us? Can Deloitte
professionals deliver what they promise? Could clients’ actions reflect negatively
on Deloitte’s reputation? Will geopolitical conflicts threaten our ability to operate?
Which upstarts and innovative products, services, and delivery models could disrupt
our businesses?
In a world dominated by rapidly evolving technology, converging industries, and a
shifting regulatory landscape, we must be smart, agile, resilient, and forward-thinking
to confidently confront risk, pursue opportunities, and gain competitive advantage.
During the past year, Deloitte developed a new networkwide quality and risk
management strategy that reinforces our quality and risk-intelligent culture, one of
relentless commitment to our own core and ethical values and to the public interest.
The bigger picture
Deloitte operates in a fast-moving and ever-evolving external environment that is
increasingly more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous to navigate. Myriad
factors drive this change—rapidly evolving technologies; shifts in the economic,
regulatory, professional, geo-political, and competitive landscapes; increasing
demands and expectations from clients; intense scrutiny by regulators and legislators;
and the 24/7 social media environment in which we live. The pace of these changes
almost certainly will continue to accelerate and create uncertainty and risks—and also
many opportunities—for our clients and for the Deloitte network.
Deloitte has developed and implemented an enterprise risk framework (Framework)
designed to identify, manage, monitor, and respond to risks which, if materialized,
could impact our ability to achieve our strategies and objectives—including the
protection of our reputation and brand, and member firms’ delivery of consistent,
high-quality services. The Framework also includes processes to regularly monitor
the environment for developments and changes that could impact the network’s risk
profile, and identify (and respond to) new and/or emerging trends that could impact
its resiliency to those risks.
Deloitte continuously assesses the adequacy of its risk management processes
and programs to proactively address matters that may arise from the internal and
external environment, and promotes a lessons-learned culture where professionals
can learn from each other’s experiences.
To this end, during FY2015, we developed
a new network quality and risk management (Q&R) strategy that aims to take Q&R
to a new level. This strategy will continue to reinforce our quality and risk-intelligent
culture, one of relentless commitment to Deloitte’s own core and ethical values and the
public interest.
Promoting trust, confidence, and value
During FY2015, in addition to introducing the new network Q&R strategy, DTTL took
a number of actions to sustain the Deloitte network’s commitment to quality and
risk management, and enhance its ability to be “risk intelligent” and “risk resilient.”
They included:
• Continuing to enhance and support the Framework, both at the DTTL and
member firm levels; developing and issuing a member firm Framework policy and
related guidance;
• Continuing to refine and enhance the process and protocols used to sense the
external environment and reporting of potential issues, allowing member firms to
more proactively identify potential brand events and matters, as well as emerging
risks and trends that have the potential to negatively impact our network;
• Continuing to raise awareness and ownership about confidentiality across the
Deloitte network, working in close collaboration with risk, security, ethics, privacy,
and other key stakeholders. This included rolling out 30 uniform member firm
action items designed to enhance confidentiality programs across the network; and
• Continuing to foster and strengthen the Deloitte risk network through the
dissemination of leading-edge risk workshops, tools, guidance, communication, and
in-person meetings and networking activities.

Globally consistent and scalable policies and processes
The DTTL Policies Manual (DPM) is the central repository for policies applicable to the
Deloitte network. It provides the basis for member firms to establish and implement
consistent and rigorous quality and risk management processes and procedures, and
sets forth policies for which member firm compliance is mandatory. These policies
are applicable for all areas in a member firm’s professional and practice management
functions and are critical to providing consistent high-quality service to clients and
protecting and enhancing the reputation of Deloitte member firms. Among the many
policies included in the DPM, there is a Framework policy whereby member firms are
required to develop, implement, and document a Framework that is integrated into
key member firm decision-making processes.
These policies are also designed to help member firms address unique considerations
associated with the delivery of consistent, high-quality services, while also challenging
professionals to do the right thing under any circumstance, even if that results in
declining a prospective client, engagement, or terminating an existing client relationship.
The DPM includes a specific policy requirement for each member firm to appoint
a senior and experienced “reputation and risk leader” (RRL) who is responsible for
leading his or her member firm’s practice protection and risk management program,
with full support from senior risk leaders in each of the member firm’s businesses.
The RRLs are part of member firm leadership and responsible for developing and
implementing robust, comprehensive, and strategic risk management programs,
including appropriate policies and procedures to address specific quality-control
considerations.
They also must implement consistent monitoring procedures to
ascertain compliance with DPM policies and procedures, and promote and facilitate
risk management learning. DPM policies can be supplemented by member firm
policies that take into consideration local market practices, local laws, and regulations
within their jurisdictions.
Practice reviews
Practice reviews serve as an inspection and monitoring mechanism and are a critical
component of the Deloitte network’s system of quality control and risk management.
Each member firm is responsible for conducting its own practice reviews under the
guidance and oversight of DTTL. Held at least once every three years, these reviews
assess whether member firms comply, at a minimum, with DPM policies and are
operating effectively in practice.
Practice reviews also assess the quality of work
performed and services delivered by the member firms.
Findings and recommendations arising from the practice reviews are presented in a
report and management letter to DTTL and the member firm’s leadership. In response
to the report, the member firm is required, if needed, to establish a detailed and
corrective action plan that addresses the findings and recommendations, together
with a mechanism for monitoring the resolution of the findings. Implementation of
the action plan is proactively monitored by the member firm and DTTL.
Practice review processes are continuously enhanced to raise the bar on quality and
risk management, and to promote and achieve greater consistency in the delivery of
high-quality services across the network.

Making waves in water stewardship
Tailored tool helps Smurfit Kappa assess
and mitigate risks from water scarcity
Water is an important resource input in the pulp and paper industry. During the
paper-making process, most of the water withdrawn from surface or groundwater
is returned to its source, with about 10 percent of the water “consumed.” Given the
increasing importance of water globally, companies are now developing strategies to
manage this precious resource.
One of the organizations focused on addressing water related risks is Smurfit Kappa,
Europe’s leading corrugated packaging company and one of the leading providers of
paper-based packaging solutions in the world. “Smurfit Kappa, and companies like it,
are seeking to implement water stewardship strategies to evaluate operational risks
and costs associated with disruptions to their water supplies and to identify actions to
mitigate these risks,” says Olivier Jan, partner, Deloitte France, Sustainability Services.
Assessing the risk
In May 2014, the manufacturer approached Deloitte France to conduct a waterrelated risk assessment across Smurfit Kappa’s global industrial operations throughout
FY2015. The member firm enlisted the assistance of BIO by Deloitte—Deloitte France’s
Sustainability Services center of excellence—and Will Sarni, director and practice
leader of Deloitte US’s enterprise water strategy.
“Assessing potential risks from water
availability and quality is a complex process, which covers multiple aspects specific to
each geographical location, such as physical scarcity, regulatory issues—and influence
of external stakeholders,” Sarni explains.
In the first phase of the project, 36 Smurfit Kappa mills were screened for waterrelated risks using traditional tools and methods. In the second phase—where the
scope is limited to mills which present a significant potential risk of water availability—
on-site assessments are being performed using a tool built and owned by Deloitte
France that is designed specifically for Smurfit Kappa to use for its mills. “This
customized tool allows us to tailor the assessments to the company’s specificities and
challenges, confirm the potential vulnerability of individual mills, and initiate local
monitoring and mitigation plans,” Jan says.
These assessments include the collection
of data on the mills’ operations, in-depth discussion with local managers, and
engagement with external stakeholders. Evaluations of company mills are ongoing.
“Smurfit Kappa will use these assessments to help us identify whether our most
strategic industrial assets—and the investments we contemplate for those facilities—
might be at risk in the medium-term future due to potential limited availability of
water resources, and how we could monitor and mitigate those risks,” says Steven
Stoffer, Smurfit Kappa’s group vice president, Development. “Very few companies
have taken steps to assess local risks with such care.
Through this proactive approach,
with Deloitte France’s help, we are in a better position to set the standard for the
paper-based packaging industry.”
Fresh water is critical to the paper-making process. Deloitte France is working with Smurfit
Kappa to help the paper manufacturer mitigate risks of disruption to its water supply.

We inspire our people to deliver value—mentoring and
developing future leaders and colleagues for life.
The most successful organizations today are those characterized by inspiring
leaders, a clearly articulated purpose, and professionals who are passionate
about bringing that purpose to life. At Deloitte, we have made the development
of inspirational, world-class leaders, at all levels, the cornerstone of our global
talent strategy.
Our vision is to develop purpose-led leaders who are deeply committed to
the ideal of making an impact that matters—with member firm clients, their
colleagues, their communities, and in our profession.
To achieve our vision, the Deloitte network continues to make significant
investments in the design and delivery of an inclusive, world-class learning
experience. Through Deloitte University, we provide enriching experiences for
Deloitte people and create a place where leaders thrive and ideas prosper.
In addition to Deloitte University, Deloitte encourages its people to take on
experiences in new markets or service areas to expand their expertise and
leadership skills. These diverse experiences not only enhance the quality and
consistency of clients’ experiences with Deloitte, but they also reinforce the
inclusive and collaborative culture that allows our professionals to succeed.
Deloitte’s leaders are driven to unlock people’s potential through mentorship,
lifelong learning, and flexible work and career solutions that meet the changing
needs of Deloitte’s businesses and people.
They treat leadership as a privilege, and
are dedicated to creating truly distinctive client and talent experiences that foster a
strong sense of purpose and motivate people to deliver beyond expectations.

An inclusive talent experience that appeals
to both the head and the heart
Do inspired people come up with great ideas? Or do great ideas inspire people?
At Deloitte, the questions are not mutually exclusive. Our network is committed
to helping its people reach their full leadership potential—confident that their
professional experiences will spark innovations that motivate others.
New ideas are valued across Deloitte’s member firms; the best ones are funded,
cultivated, and allowed to mature. Deloitte UK, for example, has a program to create
and grow new businesses based on the ideas of its people, backed by a budget of up
to US$39.3 million. Deloitte Canada’s search for ground-breaking ideas offers a winning
team a cash prize and up to US$160,000 in seed money to implement its concept.
At
Deloitte Brazil, 18 innovative projects were submitted by local professionals and received
investments to be developed; five of these projects are new solutions to go to market.
And 20 cross-industry, marketable ideas have been created for development within the
Deloitte US Technology Consulting practice through the StartUp Deloitte program.
“Throughout our network, Deloitte has more than 220,000 bright and creative people
who understand their clients and their markets. This deep insight is also a wellspring
of innovative ideas. We owe it to Deloitte professionals and clients to invest in the
most impactful ones,” says Frank Vettese, Managing Partner and Chief Executive,
Deloitte Canada.
“And to ensure our continued market leadership, we must also invest
in the people who generate those ideas.”
“Deloitte people aspire to make an impact that matters, and in return, they expect
opportunities to build leadership capabilities, develop new skills and be challenged
each and every day through the work they do and the talented professionals
they work with,” adds Margot Thom, Chief Talent Officer, Deloitte Global. “As an
organization, Deloitte is dedicated to creating an experience that allows its people to
thrive and grow.”
Developing leaders and innovation
As classrooms go, few can match those at Deloitte University (DU). Through a core
curriculum and multiple regional facilities, DU focuses on growing leadership skills at
every level of the organization.
During FY2015, close to 65,000 Deloitte professionals
across the regions experienced Deloitte University, and more than 2,000 member firm
partners, principals, and directors led Deloitte University programs.
“The real strength of the Deloitte University experience is how it supports passing
practical knowledge, professional and personal experience, and our values from
generation to generation of Deloitte leaders,” says Jorrit Volkers, Dean, Deloitte
University EMEA. “At DU, Deloitte people experience and benefit from leading-edge
learning from leaders in the classroom at key moments throughout their careers.

“After a while, we realized that DU

innovate,” adds Jennifer Steinmann, Chief
Transformation Officer, Deloitte US.
“What
if we could use the collective power of all
these talented individuals to help solve the
world’s most vexing problems?” That’s how
“Wicked Problems” was born. “Wicked
Problems is a structured process that uses
‘design thinking’ to apply our deep talent

world faces today—complex, urgent, and
persistent problems that have no readily
apparent solutions,” Steinmann explains.

One issue addressed this past year by the DU Wicked Problems team at the Westlake,
Texas (US) campus was employee wellness, because ailing workers cost the American
economy US$153 billion annually. Ideas solicited from more than 2,500 Deloitte US
professionals during a three-month period were shared with the Clinton Foundation,
the sponsor of the exercise, to help advance thinking in the field. From the hundreds
of ideas generated in five separate sessions, one idea from each was deemed the
winner by the Clinton Foundation based on scalability, impact, and novelty. “I’m
excited about this program, and the quality of the ideas coming out of it,” says Alex
Chan, Associate Director, National Strategy, Clinton Foundation.
“The ideas are strong
and can be put into practice to help advance what we are trying to achieve at the
Clinton Foundation.”
Developing leaders and
their ideas
Wicked Problems has recently launched two new campaigns, one that challenges
participants to address women and minority participation in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields; and one focused on bullying prevention.

While both virtual and physical classroom instruction are essential, there is no
substitute for on-the-job development. Deloitte UK recently introduced a program,
Engagement Team Based Learning, to help its auditors recognize the daily education
they’re receiving and understand how they contribute to the success of the practice
and engagement teams. “Through this initiative, Audit partners and managers are
required to discuss key learning messages with team members and apply those
messages to their specific client engagements,” says Chris Powell, Deloitte Global
Audit Talent Leader.
“It has provided great opportunities for focused team discussions
and targeting areas to improve engagement quality, ensuring that we are ‘getting it
right’ the first time.”
Deloitte Australia has a similar program, called “10 Ways,” that aims to “fundamentally
change the DNA of a Deloitte auditor,” according to Powell. The programs stresses
10 activities, which become behaviors, which become habits, which become culture.
“The 10 Ways program not only produces better insights and solutions, and more
meaningful interactions with member firm clients, but it also creates a consistent
understanding of risks, issues, and the audit plan,” Powell says.

Pairing military, business vets
Deloitte US practitioners also make an impact that matters among military veterans.
The Deloitte University campus in Westlake is the site of the Career Opportunity
Redefinition and Exploration (CORE) leadership program, which helps veterans learn
how to identify and articulate their unique strengths, build personal brands through
social media and networking, and master job interviews. “When their military
service is over and veterans return home to establish civilian careers, many encounter
challenges entering the workforce,” explains Terry Bickham, the program’s dean.
“CORE helps armed forces members and veterans translate their skills, knowledge, and
experiences into a business environment.”
As part of The White House Joining Forces Initiative, Deloitte US committed to
doubling its veteran hiring over a three-year period; it met that goal in only two
years. Challenged to do more, Deloitte US created the three-day personalized CORE
learning program, where Deloitte US leaders provide guidance, and member firm
client representatives offer perspectives and advice on what they look for when hiring
veterans. Since 2013, more than 350 veterans have participated, and as of May 2015,
95 percent of those actively in the job market found employment.
“Working with veterans also has a profound impact on many of the Deloitte coaches;
the teaching and learning goes both ways,” Bickham says.
“In business, we talk about
being ‘on the front line’ and ‘in the trenches,’ but these veterans literally were, and the
shared experiences help Deloitte people become even better leaders.”

diverse, on-the-job experience through short- and long-term mobility assignments and
global client projects. These opportunities help create well-rounded leaders who are
assets to the entire network.
“Deloitte makes investments in its professionals’ learning that appeal to both the
head and the heart,” adds Thom.
“Our innovative and flexible learning approaches
span from the DU classrooms to the daily work experience. By promoting a culture of
continual learning, Deloitte enables its professionals to up their games in delivering
outstanding value to their clients.”

Helping purpose-driven talent thrive
“You can change the world and have a business career”
It’s difficult to overestimate the influence the internet has had on the world. Sure, it’s
changed the way we communicate, shop, research, learn, and entertain ourselves.
But, on a deeper level, it’s altered how many of us think and relate to the world
around us, breaking down barriers and exposing causes in ways that weren’t possible
a generation ago.
One result of this evolution is the purpose-driven professional. For six in 10 young
workers, a “sense of purpose” is part of the reason they chose to join their current
employers, according to DTTL’s 2015 Millennial survey. And they’re not alone; Gen Xers
and veteran talent also are increasingly seeking opportunities to make an impact on the
world around them both through the work they do and endeavors outside the office.
“Leading universities now offer courses in social entrepreneurship, impact investing,
social-enterprise management, and social innovation.
That’s creating a new pool
of professionals who can operate in both the business and social-sector realms,”
explains Margot Thom, Chief Talent Officer, Deloitte Global. “The call and promise is,
‘You can change the world and have a business career.’ That’s especially appealing
to millennials, who are looking for work that elicits passion and helps them pursue
professional, personal, and social goals simultaneously.”
Business skills, social impact
One such career calling is cybersecurity. Many young job seekers see the havoc
wreaked on society by cyber-based terrorism, computer intrusions, and cyber fraud,
and decide they can make an impact that matters for consumers, economies, and
even national security.
Several Deloitte member firms host “hackathon” events to give tech-minded students
venues to demonstrate their talents, while providing valuable insights into the
challenges and rewards that await those who choose a cybersecurity career.
The
Deloitte US Cyber Risk Services practice joined with the US’s Deloitte Foundation to
host one such event in April 2015. Students representing 10 of the top universities in
the US competed against their peers and other schools for top honors, which went to
the team from the University of Southern California. A second event with 15 teams is
scheduled for late 2015.
Deloitte Digital in the UK member firm ran a similar “hackathon” competition, called
“Gone Hacking,” to identify ideas to disrupt and transform the financial services
industry.
Participants on 14 teams had 48 hours to develop and present their solutions
to a panel of industry leaders, who helped refine participants’ ideas. The most
impressive concepts were awarded prizes and some participants were encouraged
to apply to Deloitte UK’s BrightStart training program, which helps talented students
develop a successful business careers.

“Events like these not only provide great experiences for participating students, but
they also help member firms develop a pipeline of talented recruits who otherwise
may not have considered a career at Deloitte,” says Jonathan Gray, Partner, Deloitte
Digital, Deloitte U.K.
Not an either/or proposition
For those who want to have even more direct involvement in social-impact activities,
Deloitte member firms have long histories of offering professionals the ability to mix
paid and pro bono assignments, be “seconded” to not-for-profits, take sabbaticals to
help at social enterprises, and perform other skill-based volunteering. Networkwide,
during FY2015, Deloitte professionals dedicated more than 340,000 hours to pro
bono assignments and more than 820,000 hours to volunteering.
The concept of pursuing maximum financial, social, and environmental impacts
has gained traction throughout the Deloitte network. “This has provided more
opportunities for purpose-driven professionals to pursue personal pursuits while
working within the corporate world,” Thom says.
Nate Wong is one of those people. Wong, a Deloitte US manager in the Social Impact
Strategy practice, once spent two weeks in Brazil working with a nonprofit group
that serves disadvantaged youth in poverty-stricken favelas.
The experience sparked
an interest in international development that made him question his career path. “I
actually thought about leaving my consulting job, until I realized I could pursue my
passions and remain with Deloitte US,” Wong says.
After taking a four-month sabbatical to work as a volunteer consultant in several
countries in Southern Africa, Wong returned to a new emerging-markets role that let
him apply his volunteer experiences to his work. Today, he is embedded at Deloitte
US’s newly launched Social Impact Strategy practice, helping public-, private-, and
social-sector clients maximize their social impact.
“My story is an example of the
varied opportunities that are available at Deloitte,” he says. “While transitions
like mine aren’t always simple, with leadership support, I’ve been able to align
my work and my societal interests in a way that helps me make an impact that is
truly satisfying.”
The flexibility and socially focused conviction that appeals to millennials is beginning
to attract nontraditional talent to Deloitte, as well. “A number of fundamental shifts
are impacting traditional notions of employment, requiring organizations to take a
much more flexible approach to attracting and retaining talent.
For instance, there is
a growing population that prefers to be self-employed so that they can choose the
types of assignments they prefer and have the autonomy to manage their own work
and schedules,” Thom says.
“Several member firms have begun experimenting with flexible talent models to
attract the specific skills and experience Deloitte needs to deliver on its business
aspirations,” she continues. “We have to explore every avenue to ensure Deloitte
can provide an exceptional experience to its clients while recognizing professionals’
evolving choices about how, where, and when they work.”

From insurgency to medical urgency,
Deloitte Global Security measures up
For the Deloitte firm in Nigeria, the Boko Haram insurgency isn’t some grim situation
in a faraway land. The 6-year-old conflict presents a threat to the security of the firm’s
clients and professionals.
In response, the firm developed the Deloitte Beacon mobile app, a safety and
emergency response solution that helps Deloitte security staff in Nigeria determine
at a glance if its personnel are in danger and act immediately. It also lets Deloitte
professionals report incidents to the security office in Nigeria and alert nearby peers
with the touch of a button. The app functions in both internet and SMS mode,
enabling it to work even when a user has no internet access.
Government and nongovernment agencies, as well as Deloitte clients, can purchase
Deloitte Beacon from the Nigeria firm and use it to monitor the safety of their people
anywhere in the world.
Security is a paramount concern for global organizations whose people work in or travel
to areas where they may be at risk—not only from civil unrest, but also from natural
disasters or other troubling events.
The DTTL Global Security Office takes these risks and
the protection of Deloitte professionals very seriously, and has a comprehensive program
in place to work with member firms to address ever-present threats around the globe.
The bigger picture
The primary focus of the DTTL Global Security Office (GSO) is to work with member
firms to keep Deloitte people safe, particularly during times of emergency or when
they are called upon by clients to work in higher-risk areas. A comprehensive program
has been put in place to address ever-present threats around the globe. “With
Deloitte’s ever-increasing global footprint in more than 150 countries and a high
volume of travelers, GSO team members stand ready to help keep our people safe,”
says Ted Almay, DTTL Global Security Officer.
During FY2015, the GSO continued efforts to further integrate its regional security
managers through member firm visits, meetings with country leaders, and the
formation of local security councils made up of member firm security officers in
each region.
During the past year, the GSO also added a business continuity senior
manager to work with member firms to enhance their overall resiliency and formed
global working groups composed of member firm security leaders to improve the
consistency of member firm background screening and physical security measures.
The GSO team leverages the infrastructure and best practices of the largest member
firms through the formation of a global steering committee. Security professionals from
GSO and DTTL’s three largest member firms comprise the group, which serves in an
advisory role to help build out the organization’s global security strategy. This committee
supplements the existing Global Security Council, which is a network of Deloitte security
and risk professionals and other leaders from the majority of Deloitte member firms.
Keeping Deloitte people safe
The GSO team tracks world events on a daily basis for potential impacts on Deloitte’s
people and member firms.
Whenever a crisis occurs, the GSO, in conjunction with
DTTL’s Global Crisis Management Team, responds swiftly to help member firms
account for the safety of their people, provide necessary relief, and resume normal
business operations as soon as possible.
Threats come in many sizes and forms, including geopolitical instability, crime, and
natural disasters. “We responded to a range of crisis events, from earthquakes in
northern Chile to ongoing instability throughout the Middle East during the past
year,” Almay says. Health emergencies also can affect Deloitte people while traveling
or assigned overseas, so DTTL maintains 24-hour resources delivered by a leading
emergency medical and security provider.
“In FY2015 alone, the GSO team responded
to more than 170 medical-assistance cases, several of which involved serious medical
conditions or accidents necessitating emergency air evacuations,” notes Almay.
Risk awareness for travelers
On an average day, Deloitte member firms may have more than 20,000 people
traveling to serve clients. The GSO provided guidance and security planning support
in FY2015 to more than 912 member firm engagement teams considering work in
potentially troublesome areas of the world. As part of DTTL’s global travel security
protocols, member firms are encouraged to incorporate security into their travel
programs and consult with the GSO before undertaking travel to high-risk locations.
When member firm engagement teams cannot avoid traveling to high-risk locations,
assistance provided to engagement teams can range from designing comprehensive
security plans, including location-specific security briefings, hotel and transportation
recommendations, on-the-ground project logistics, and direct security support, as
needed.
In doing so, a network of specialized security providers based in many highrisk locations is available to assist.
The GSO continues to work with member firms to raise the awareness of Deloitte
people to ensure they are aware of particular risks before they travel. GSO offers a
“Know Before You Go” series of general-travel and country-specific e-learning courses
and videos. The GSO team is always looking for new approaches to inform Deloitte
professionals, and there are plans to leverage technologies, such as online videos, to
appeal to Deloitte’s mobile population.
Deloitte professionals have access to a comprehensive travel security website
containing the latest security bulletins, assessments, country risk ratings and other
resources for travelers.
DTTL also uses a mobile application from its emergency
services provider that allows Deloitte practitioners to receive the latest security and
health alerts and to access other resources.

We contribute to society, building confidence and trust,
upholding integrity, and supporting the community.
Back in 1856, a little more than a decade after starting his own accounting
firm, William Deloitte made a name for himself by exposing fraud in the railroad
industry and inventing a system to protect investors from mismanagement of
funds. His commitment to servant leadership—to being a force for good—lives on
today as a core element of Deloitte’s culture.
The impact of that commitment, though, is now felt on a much larger stage than
William Deloitte could ever have imagined. The Deloitte network uses the strength
of its global network to help shape society and drive change that matters.
We treat our role in society as a privilege, and lead by example and positive
influence that is exercised in a variety of ways.
We contribute to society through the work we do. Deloitte fills the vital role of the
independent auditor, maintaining the integrity of the financial reporting process
and preserving the public’s trust in our capital markets.
Deloitte’s consulting
services offer innovative solutions that help businesses thrive, which is essential
for a healthy, vibrant economy and society. Through these and other services,
member firm professionals help their clients successfully handle a broad range
of risks, crises, and complex challenges, strengthening their businesses and
protecting their customers.
Governments, nongovernmental organizations, and other businesses look
to Deloitte for our knowledge, skills, and experience in tackling increasingly
difficult economic, regulatory, and social issues. When Deloitte leaders and
professionals share opinions on public policy and regulatory matters with decision
makers, together, we advance economic growth and the social mobility of
people worldwide.
Every day, Deloitte people are making a real impact in the places they live
and work.
From delivering pro bono support to nonprofits and helping young
people develop employability skills, to strengthening communities in the wake
of a disaster and driving measurement beyond GDP to tackle social challenges,
Deloitte is focused on the issues that matter most.
Deloitte prides itself on doing not only what is good for clients, but also what is
good for our people and the communities in which we live and work—always
striving to be an organization that is held up as a role model of quality, integrity,
and positive change.

Investing in post-disaster innovation
Promise of economic resurgence drives
Deloitte Japan’s social mission
In March 2011, three connected disasters devastated the world’s third-largest
economy, resulting in a recovery bill that could reach US$250 billion or more. Twenty
prefectures in Japan took a direct hit from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake,
tsunami, and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. But, the economic impact of the
triple disaster was borne—and is still being felt—throughout the country.
“These events devastated small businesses, destroyed factories, disrupted supply
chains in Japan and abroad, and caused power shortages across the country,”
says Masatoshi Tanifuji, leader of the Deloitte Japan Reconstruction Support Team.
“Many businesses could not recover. Those that survived lost many customers.
Some companies decided to permanently relocate to other parts of the world.
And
our government may be forced to increase public debt to pay for the recovery. The
economic impact of the disasters will be felt for many years to come.”
Deloitte Japan, which played a broad and active humanitarian role in the wake of
the disasters, continues to provide revival and restoration support for its clients and
pro bono services in disaster-affected areas. But, the firm’s focus has expanded to
recognize the broader need to rebuild a national economy crippled by those events.
“We want to do more than simply help disaster-affected areas recover.
Our goal is to
help create a nationwide economic rebirth by nurturing innovation,” Tanifuji says. “We
have ample resources and professional skills to invest in Japan’s communities, and can
make a tremendous societal impact by leveraging our business capabilities.”
Rallying around entrepreneurs
The assistance Deloitte Japan’s subsidiary, Tohmatsu Venture Support (TVS), offers
entrepreneurs and new startups is a noteworthy example of this commitment. Each
week, TVS holds a “Morning Pitch” event throughout Japan, giving startups a chance
to pitch to an audience of big companies, investors, and media that typically numbers
150.
The purpose of the event is to facilitate business alliances between startups and
big companies.
TVS also offers startups services that include support with sales, public relations,
fundraising, hiring, training, and overseas expansion. “We provide our services
as pro bono support because we believe that growth of startups will boost the
Japanese economy,” says Takao Yoshimura, TVS Chief Executive Officer. “By giving
these startups access to investors and others through the Morning Pitch events,
we significantly enhance and increase their business options and have helped many
achieve their goal of having an initial public offering.”
To date, TVS has helped more than 2,000 startups not only achieve success, but also
contribute to a local and national revival.
A few of those startups already have crossed
into global markets.
“Morning Pitch” events held by Tohmatsu Venture Support bring startups and large enterprises
together to explore potential collaborations.
Contributing in multiple ways
While nurturing innovation across Japan is critical to the nation’s economic
recovery, it’s especially necessary to stimulate business in the disaster’s hardest-hit
areas. Deloitte Japan is doing that through its Reconstruction Support Team and
Tohoku Future Creation Initiative. The firm’s six-month talent-nurturing program,
for example, has helped develop 110 promising business leaders in the region.
The six-month program includes sessions in finance, marketing, leadership, and
management strategy, and culminates with Deloitte Japan Reconstruction Support
Team professionals helping participants formulate their business plans.
Deloitte Japan’s
devoted contribution to this program won a national pro bono award in 2014.
In association with the Japan Association of Corporate Executives, Deloitte Japan
professionals in the region also are helping revive fisheries, as well as leading
agriculture, forestry, tourism, and manufacturing companies.
While addressing the larger, economic issues, the firm’s professionals have not
forgotten the individuals who still face hardships as a result of the disasters. Deloitte
Japan partners and staff continue to have donations to charitable organizations
deducted from their pay. To date, more than US$600,000 has been raised to benefit
children who lost their caregivers in the catastrophe.
“We see Japan’s economic
rebirth and continuing societal needs as major challenges,” Tanifuji says. “But, more
importantly, we see them as our social mission.”

Reaching out with purpose
Deloitte professionals’ business skills elevate global
humanitarian efforts
One place is tropical, the other arid. One is torn by nature, the other by war. One has
about 2 million people living on 25,000 low-lying islands, the other has seen about
2 million children among those forced to flee its predominantly landlocked borders.
The South Pacific and Syria are separated by 16,000 kilometers and a long list
of physical and social contrasts. But, they have at least one thing in common—
humanitarian needs that require innovative solutions.
In the South Pacific, more
frequent and intense cyclones are the culprit, disrupting livelihoods and upsetting a
fragile infrastructure. In Syria, armed conflict is driving families from their homes to
other parts of the nation and to neighboring countries in search of safe haven.
Deloitte professionals are providing support in both crisis situations. Deloitte New
Zealand is working with Oxfam New Zealand (Oxfam NZ) to co-create innovative
solutions to deliver post-cyclone relief to multiple countries in the Pacific region while
Deloitte Middle East is supporting Syrian refugee response.
The connection with Oxfam NZ was made through the Deloitte Humanitarian
Innovation Program.
“This program paired Deloitte New Zealand member firm
professionals with humanitarian organizations, enabling the Deloitte network to have
a role in co-creating and scaling innovative solutions to the sector’s most pressing
challenges,” says David Pearson, Deloitte’s Global Chief Sustainability Officer.
Conquering a logistical challenge
Following a disaster, the priority for Oxfam NZ—part of Oxfam’s international
confederation of 17 organizations working in more than 90 countries—is to get
clean water, sanitation, and hygiene packs to communities. That’s easier said than
done, given geographic and infrastructure challenges that make it difficult to reach
vulnerable, remote island communities across the Pacific.
The Deloitte New Zealand member firm used its supply chain skills and insights to
co-develop a logistics framework and management plans for disaster support and
relief throughout the vast region. “The framework considers the movement of aid
following a disaster from the point of supply to the point of entry into each affected
country,” explains David Lovatt, Consulting partner, Deloitte New Zealand.
“This
approach is designed to improve the effectiveness of a response by reducing the
costs, reducing the time, and improving the quantity and quality of aid.”
While developed specifically for Oxfam NZ’s requirements, Oxfam aims to scale the
framework within its broad network and among NGOs across the Pacific region. “By
sharing the learnings with the wider humanitarian community, Oxfam will help enable
others to act more cohesively in the wake of a disaster, and ultimately reach more
people with lifesaving support,” Lovatt says.
Deloitte New Zealand teamed up with Oxfam New Zealand to improve disaster relief in the
Pacific.

Reaching displaced women and children
Syria is home to one of the largest humanitarian emergencies of our era. Millions of
school-aged children have been forced to abandon their educations and sometimes
their families to escape danger. Getting basic necessities to Syrian refugees is just one
of many priorities within the humanitarian community. Deloitte Middle East (DME)
decided to make an impact by focusing on educating and empowering the women
and children who have been impacted most by the ongoing conflict in the area.
DME’s Syrian refugee program, working with local and international organizations,
addresses needs through home-based study, skills building, activities for children, and
funding for basic necessities.
The firm currently is looking to expand the scope of the
program beyond Syrian refugees in Lebanon to reach refugees in Jordan and Syria by
helping set up classrooms in refugee camps, providing accounting courses, offering
skill-building workshops via technology boot camps, and implementing other DME
initiatives, such as the Digital Youth Program.
“Over the years, we impacted the lives of thousands of Arab children by focusing
our DME corporate responsibility agenda on skill-building and entrepreneurial
programs,” explains Rana Salhab DME Talent and Communications Partner. “We are
now working on innovative programs that affect vulnerable Syrian refugee youth and
women in multiple countries. The world and our region cannot ignore the crisis and
consequences resulting from a lost generation of young Syrians.”
Disaster relief
Some crises, like the one in Syria, unfold over several years.
Others transpire quickly.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the earthquake in Nepal are two such events
that caused Deloitte professionals to mobilize during the past fiscal year.
In the wake of the Ebola outbreak, DTTL made a significant donation to the U.N.
secretary-general’s Ebola Multi-Partner Trust Fund, which directed support toward the
greatest identified needs of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response
(UNMEER). And within hours of the 25 April tremor that ravaged the central and western
regions of Nepal and parts of northern India, Deloitte US professionals created an internal
Yammer group encouraging their colleagues and the Deloitte US member firm to donate
much-needed funds. Deloitte US contributed US$200,000 and opened an employeematch contribution fund.
Many other Deloitte member firms also made donations and
ran employee-giving campaigns to raise funds for charitable organizations working
on the relief efforts. In total, DTTL and Deloitte member firms donated more than
US$760,000 to charitable organizations working on relief efforts in Nepal.
“In recent years, the Deloitte network has contributed generously to support those in
need following humanitarian disasters,” Pearson says. “But, the initiative from Deloitte
people to take action and support those affected in the aftermath of the Nepal
earthquake was truly inspiring.”
Deloitte Middle East is providing educational opportunities for children displaced by the
ongoing conflict in Syria.

A step in the right direction
Deloitte tackles youth unemployment by scaling innovative
education ideas
There are 75 million unemployed young people in the world, and the economic
and social costs of this are immense. It’s an international challenge that requires the
continued attention of government, nonprofits, and businesses to create effective
solutions in a rapidly changing environment.
“By using and combining their core capabilities, these groups can have a tremendous
impact on youth unemployment, inequality, and the skills gap that threaten
social stability and economic progress,” says David Pearson, Deloitte Global Chief
Sustainability Officer. “Deloitte and others in the business community have a specific
and collective responsibility to promote the advancement of young people in society
because of the growing needs for talented, skilled employees that will only get more
acute as time goes on.”
Since 2009, Deloitte has been committed to identifying and investing in innovative
solutions that enhance access to education and employability. In FY2015, Deloitte
contributed more than 380,000 hours to education and skills activities, reaching more
than 390,000 young people.
“The core capability we bring to the table is the ability
to scale solutions. This is how Deloitte member firms can make the greatest impact,”
Pearson says. “We search the globe for great ideas, then we use Deloitte resources
and relationships to help expand those ideas and drive outcomes that reach the most
people possible.”
Finding successful solutions
Deloitte US leaders sought to recognize and support an innovative education
organization that was achieving outcomes in the primary and secondary space,
but may be facing challenges in scaling its programs.
To identify the organization,
Deloitte US launched the RightStep™ Innovation Prize in November 2014. Offering
US$100,000 in cash, US$100,000 in pro bono services, and access to Deloitte US’s
ecosystem of professionals volunteering support to the winner, the call for entrants
attracted 116 nonprofit and for-profit organizations with a social mission in education.
The competition featured three rounds of intensive screenings and involved more
than 100 Deloitte US professionals. In April 2015, five finalists presented to a group of
judges, composed of senior Deloitte US leadership.
Texas-based Reasoning Mind—
focused on elevating student achievement on standardized math tests, improving
attitudes toward mathematics, and increasing classroom concentration rates—was
selected as the winner.
“With the launch of the RightStep™ Innovation Prize, Deloitte US is helping to
deepen national relationships, increase the engagement of Deloitte US professionals,
and invest in innovative, technology-based solutions that provide opportunities to
transform education and the way that it’s delivered,” says Bill Copeland, Deloitte US
Life Sciences & Health Care leader and corporate citizenship education champion.
2015 RightStep Innovation Prize finalists included
Beyond12, iMentor, Strive for College, and uAspire—
innovative education organizations that have made
meaningful impacts in advancing education outcomes
through technology.

“The work we help scale will contribute to preparing today’s students to be
tomorrow’s leaders, and will help address the chronic gap between low-income
students and their peers.”
Focusing on employability
The Social Innovation Pioneers program at Deloitte UK is focusing its scaling
capabilities this year on employability and job creation. The Pioneers program has a
compelling track record of supporting socially innovative businesses, helping them
grow to scale and become investment-ready. During the first three years of the
program, more than 2,000 Deloitte UK people provided more than 15,000 hours of
professional support.
Social Enterprise UK, an organization focused on helping social businesses grow,
determined through an independent evaluation that the 58 businesses supported
by the program have created more than 200 new jobs to date and realized annual
revenue increases of 38 percent. More than a third of the organizations are suppliers
or cooperative business partners with Deloitte UK.
This has increased the diversity of
its supply chain, widened access to talent recruitment, and helped it create innovative,
client-facing solutions.
“To increase social impact and become more targeted with outcomes for the program,
Deloitte UK elected this year to emphasize one priority social issue,” explains Claire
Burton, head of Corporate Responsibility for Deloitte UK. “This year we’re concentrating
on building employment skills and opportunities and are delighted to have selected
11 Pioneers with whom we aim to work collaboratively over the next 12 months.”
Growing Hope
In China, a key challenge is equipping its sizable, rural youth population to be selfsufficient and contribute to the nation’s economic growth. “Our country has an
aging population and is transitioning from an agrarian economy to urban economy,”
explains Lawrence Chia, Honorable Chairman of Deloitte China Foundation.
“So, our
priorities are giving youth in rural communities who face disadvantages access to basic
education, and preparing them to fulfill their aspirations and potential as individuals
through local education and skills programs.”
Deloitte China launched the Hubei Hope School Project in 2009 with a goal of
building or renovating one school a year for five years in remote and underserved
areas in the Hubei province. The firm met its goal with the completion of the fifth
school in late 2014. More than 2,000 students and local teachers have benefited from
access to education and better learning facilities.
“About 400 Deloitte China staff members have participated in the initiative, and the
Hubei province government has recognized Deloitte China’s contribution throughout
the project,” says Kevin Ng, Secretary General of Deloitte China Foundation.
“It is a
perfect example of how we are able to take a good idea, turn it over to people, and
let them grow it—providing opportunities for young people to learn and develop skills
that will last a lifetime.”
The chosen theme was identified using the Social Progress Index. The Index is
produced each year by Social Progress Imperative (SPI), a nonprofit organization
dedicated to measuring what matters most to people and society. The Index gauges
the social and environmental well-being of 133 countries and helps drive the debate
around how countries can measure progress beyond gross domestic product (GDP) to
truly assess their national performance.
Deloitte member firms around the globe are
working closely with SPI to break new ground for measurement that is guiding policy
decisions and social investment to drive sustainable growth.

The edge of tomorrow
Deloitte Netherlands’ showplace hailed as
the world’s greenest office building
The Edge is billed as the world’s most sustainable office building and has the
certification to prove it. But, it’s more than that. The place is, well, fun. And
interesting.
And inviting. So much so that professionals are actually applying for
employment with Deloitte Netherlands because they want to work in the building.
That it has become a recruiting tool is a satisfying side effect of a project designed
to both redefine efficiency and change the way people work. “We wanted to ensure
that our building not only had the right sustainability credentials, but was also a real
innovative and inspiring place for our employees,” says Deloitte Netherlands CEO
Peter Bommel.
“The opportunity to collaborate with a host of experts ensured that
the finished building was sensitive to its surroundings and created a technologically
productive and happy working environment.”
The decision to erect public buildings is not considered casually in the Netherlands.
“In Holland, there is a lot of empty office space,” explains Tim Sluiter, property
manager, Information Technology (IT) & Workplace Services, Deloitte Netherlands.
“But, old buildings are less energy efficient and the physical space usually doesn’t fit
the office design of the future. We wanted to demonstrate a new building would be
a model of sustainability.”
Deloitte Netherlands approached OVG Real Estate, a Dutch commercial real estate
developer and investor, to make its vision a reality. “In our experience, Deloitte
Netherlands strives for the best and the building we developed for them reflects this,”
says Coen van Oostrom, OVG’s founder and CEO.
“We brought together a team of
experts and challenged them to identify innovations to make The Edge one of the
most efficient commercial properties in the world.”
The benchmark for efficiency
The Edge produces more electricity than it consumes, an achievement made possible
by an array of solar panels—some of which are placed on neighboring buildings—and
below-ground thermal energy storage. Its Ethernet-powered LED lighting system is
80 percent more efficient than conventional illumination. Rainwater is collected from
the roof and balconies and used to flush the building’s toilets and water its gardens.
Even the contours of the structure and its orientation to the sun play a role in its
resourcefulness.
Upon its completion in late 2014, The Edge was awarded the highest BREEAM
accreditation score ever for an office building—98.36 percent—by the Building
Research Establishment (BRE), the global assessor of sustainable buildings.
The innovative, connected lighting panels do more than sip minute amounts of
voltage; they contain about 28,000 sensors that detect motion, light, temperature,
humidity, and even carbon dioxide levels.
It’s these sensors, providing real-time data,
which make The Edge possibly the smartest and most occupant-friendly office space
in use today.

ventilation, allowing stale air to rise and exit through the roof. Photo credit: Ronald Tilleman.

The sensors allow facility managers to assess how and when certain parts of the
building are being used. “In our building, IT and facilities management are a combined
function,” Sluiter explains. In the short term, collected information can be used to
determine where cleaning is and is not necessary on a given evening. Long term,
emerging patterns showing light use of certain locales on certain days can lead to
rooms or even entire floors being closed off to save energy.
Connected and customized
Sensors also make The Edge an interesting and enjoyable place to work.
For example,
software updates to a smartphone app, developed by Deloitte Netherlands, will soon
make it possible for coffee machines to recognize individuals when they approach and
dispense the blends and add-ins they desire.
The app already assigns daily workspaces that best fit users’ preferences, and allows
them to control the brightness of the lighting above their work surfaces and adjust the
climate of their particular areas. It can direct people throughout the building, reading
a meeting location from one’s online calendar, for example, and suggesting the route
to get there. Employees can even use the app to track their progress in the on-site
gym—where some of the fitness equipment actually feeds generated wattage into
the building’s power grid.
The building is close to public transportation, a high-speed rail link, and a cycle route
network.
More than 500 bicycle parking spaces encourage tenants to pedal their
way to work. Those who must drive arrive at a high-tech garage that identifies their
vehicles, points them to available parking spots, and uses sensor-equipped LED lights
that brighten and dim as drivers arrive and leave.
Sluiter stresses that personal data cannot be accessed by managers or anyone else.
Privacy laws ensure nobody can track a person’s whereabouts, monitor how many
meetings they’ve missed, or see what times they’re using the garage. “This building
offers the technology to do certain things that would make tenants’ lives even easier,
and most of them would gladly accept the functionality,” he says.
“But, at the same
time, it’s extremely important to protect people’s privacy and conform to the law.”
Those minimal barriers certainly aren’t hindering The Edge’s reputation. “Our aim was
to make The Edge the best place to work,” says Erik Ubels, director of IT & Workplace
Services, Deloitte Netherlands. “Our meeting areas are filling up because every client
and employee wants to experience this building.
It’s not too small yet, but the economy
is growing and the building is getting crowded. It’s possible we made it too popular.”

Bloomberg Business.
Sustainability gains across the network
The Edge is unquestionably the “greenest” of the DTTL and Deloitte member firm
offices around the world, but other Deloitte spaces have received either BREEAM
or LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) certifications. The Deloitte
University facility in the US is LEED certified, as is office space occupied by DTTL and
the US member firm at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York.
Many other member firm
office spaces in the US and abroad, including Hong Kong, Istanbul, and Sao Paulo,
are LEED certified. The Zurich office has earned a LEED Platinum award, and several
Deloitte UK office spaces have received BREEAM certification.
Travel and the office needs of a global network of businesses are the primary
drivers of Deloitte’s overall environmental impact. The environmental impacts of
transportation, particularly air travel, are a complex challenge that will need to be
met with global collaboration and welcomed dialogue.
While Deloitte’s absolute
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increased 2 percent from FY2014, Deloitte’s headcount
also grew by 7 percent. Therefore, GHG emissions intensity per fulltime equivalent
(metric tons CO2e/FTE) dropped by 6 percent. Similarly, GHG emissions intensity by
revenue (kg CO2e/thousand US$ of revenue) decreased 1 percent from last year.
“Another one of our goals is to reduce the amount of virgin paper resources we
consume,” says David Pearson, Deloitte Global Chief Sustainability Officer.
“In FY2015,
Deloitte did that by reducing the paper we used by 11 percent and by selecting more
recycled-content paper, which increased the percentage of recycled-input materials
used by more than 30 percent from FY2014.”
Over the last five years, Deloitte’s headcount has increased globally by 24 percent.
During the same period, our environmental efficiency measures have improved as
indicated by a 14 percent decrease in GHG emissions intensity per FTE, a 22 percent
decrease in emissions per dollar of revenue, and a 25 percent decrease in overall paper
usage. “We hope to build on this momentum,” Pearson says.

Informing the debate
Deloitte helps drive outcomes that
benefit both business and society
“Have something to say.” It’s a mantra, of sorts, at Deloitte. Clients expect member
firm professionals to proactively bring their informed thoughts and ideas to the table.
Likewise, external stakeholders look to Deloitte leaders for opinions that help advance
global regulatory and public policy environments, recognizing their views are informed
by decades of experience operating in dozens of countries; influenced by the needs of
member firm clients; and shaped by an understanding of ever-evolving capital markets
and the entities that participate in them.
Deloitte actively participates in dynamic regulatory discussions around the world,
proactively contributing to the regulatory dialogue, promoting investor confidence,
and emphasizing cross-border consistency.
Given the network’s role in the proper function of capital markets, one of Deloitte’s
focuses remains on audit and audit quality. The organization is making necessary
investments in its member firm professionals, innovation, technology, methodology,
and practices. Deloitte leaders continue to collaborate with relevant stakeholders,
including regulators and policymakers, on current hot topics that include audit of the
future, audit quality indicators, auditor reporting, and strengthening the role of the
audit committees.
To promote more collaboration with stakeholders and reflect that the Deloitte
network is a broad and deep organization with interest and specialization in a
range of topics that interest policy makers, the Deloitte EU Policy Center opened its
doors in January 2015 in Brussels, Belgium.
The Center provides a diverse team of
Deloitte professionals, representing various EU member firms, with an opportunity
to contribute ideas and knowledge to some of the policy debates in Europe. “We
believe Deloitte will be able to make a valuable contribution and that this will lead to
increased interaction between EU policy makers and Deloitte professionals on a wide
range of topics,” says Hendrik Descheemaeker, Deloitte EU Public Policy Leader and
partner, Deloitte Belgium.
Deloitte member firms continue to strengthen their engagement with government
and political leaders—contributing insights and experiences supporting economic
success, growth, resilience, and sustainability—to help address long-term economic
challenges. For example, Deloitte professionals have contributed to the development
of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Corporate
Governance Principles; collaborated with the Business and Industry Advisory
Committee to OECD on the development of a women’s entrepreneurship report;
actively contributed to a number of B20 working groups, including those of
employment and anti-corruption; worked with the UK and US governments to
sponsor a forum to address human trafficking; and are engaged in discussions that
support a pro-growth international trade agenda fit for purpose, including via the
Trade in Services Agreement negotiations.
Watch Cathy Engelbert,
Deloitte US CEO, explain why
trust, confidence, and integrity
matter to clients and society.
Influencing the international trade agenda
Deloitte member firm professionals work daily to assist their clients to solve complex
cross-border business issues.
Equally, because of its global footprint, the Deloitte
network strives to understand what it takes to operate in multiple jurisdictions. The
importance of open and international markets—with a well-functioning, rules-based
global trading system and continuing trade liberalization—is paramount to strong
economic growth.
Currently, governments in almost every corner of the world are focused on how best
to reassert an active and well-functioning trade agenda, which includes the need to
agree on new rules of the road for today’s increasingly global and digital marketplace.
Emerging practices can create complications for companies doing business
internationally; practices the current trade rules are not able to support.
“Today’s greatest disruptions to cross-border commerce are not the traditional at-theborder set of issues for which the current trade rules are most applicable,” explains
David Gruner, Manager, DTTL Public Policy. “Yes, tariffs and customs still matter,
but modern trade is increasingly about how to deal with questions of regulatory
discrimination, data and e-commerce, mobility of persons, and many other nontariff
barrier issues.”
A key connector to all of this is through services.
“There are tremendous unrealized
benefits that could come from deeper and broader trade services liberalization,”
Gruner says.

summary
The Deloitte network supports trade negotiating objectives that recognize the new
realities of today’s economic demands and finding positive solutions to address them,
be it through the World Trade Organization multilateral system, as well as other
plurilateral, regional and bilateral trade expansion initiatives—such as the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), and the Trade
in Services Agreement (TiSA). The Deloitte network supports trade discussions that are
working to set the conditions for an international trade agenda fit for the 21st century.
Addressing human trafficking
Deloitte’s Global Migration and Border Management (GMBM) practices help clients
make globally informed and locally relevant choices about border management and
immigration. To support execution of these decisions, Deloitte member firms draw
upon the breadth of their capabilities and deep sector knowledge to help both
government and businesses tackle immigration-related challenges, which include the
crime of human trafficking.
Human trafficking is the modern-day slave trade; it’s being forced to work without
pay under threat of violence, and being unable to walk away. There are more slaves
today than at any point in human history, with estimates ranging from 21 million to
30 million.
About 5 million human trafficking victims are children.
Deloitte firms in the US and UK convened global public- and private-sector leaders
to work together to address the issue of modern slavery in supply chains. In March
2015, Deloitte was a joint host of a TechCamp conference in London, bringing together
participants from government, law enforcement, the private sector, and civil society to
understand how their collective data can drive intelligent insights to detect slavery in
corporate supply chains. The event also offered agencies, organizations, and businesses
low-cost technology solutions to help them manage slavery-free supply chains.
In addition to our work on the issue, Deloitte has published thought leadership on
the subject.
During FY2015, a Deloitte Review piece called “Supply Unchained”
offered strategies for fighting labor abuse in organizational supply chains. In addition,
Deloitte US is conducting an assessment of the current and future state of the antislavery movement and will publish its findings in an upcoming Deloitte University
Press piece that will be released jointly with the nongovernmental organization (NGO),
Free the Slaves.
Support for Free the Slaves is one of two pro bono anti-human trafficking
engagements in which Deloitte Consulting LLP and Deloitte Financial Advisory
Services LLP (Deloitte US) have engaged during the past year. For FAIR Girls, Deloitte
Consulting LLP provided assistance with board governance and a growth strategy
that included opening the doors to the Vida Center—the first and only shelter in the
Washington, D.C., area for survivors of sex trafficking.
Prioritizing the prevention of human rights violations
can help organizations open an important dialogue
with empowered consumers, preserve the integrity of
their supply chains, and protect their brand identities.
To learn more, watch, “Supply unchained: Fighting
supply chain labor abuse.”

Cooperating to curb corruption
Because the absence of corruption serves as a foundation for sustainable and
inclusive growth and supports trust in business, the Deloitte network aims to raise
awareness among all stakeholders—communities and their governments, member
firm clients, vendors, and other organizations with which our entities do business—
about the impact of corruption on society. The Deloitte network does this by taking
a leadership role in influential, global forums to set the anti-corruption agenda,
particularly on those topics relevant to Deloitte member firms, their clients, and all
Deloitte stakeholders.
During FY2015, in an effort to develop an even stronger voice on the issue, DTTL
established a working group composed of more than 20 Deloitte practitioners
from across the network who are interested in the policy aspect of anti-corruption
work. This policy working group is refining its policies, messaging, and stakeholderengagement plan to make an even greater policy impact.
Deloitte leaders will continue to join forces with industry peers and key stakeholders
to give voice to private-sector perspectives on corruption and push the global agenda
to promote a healthier global economy. To this end, Deloitte supports the OECD
Anti-Bribery Convention, the U.N.
Convention Against Corruption, and the WEF’s
Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI).
Gender equality
Creating economic opportunity for women and underrepresented groups across all
levels of the workforce by nurturing a more inclusive workforce is not only smart—
different studies show companies with diverse workforces and executive boards are
more innovative and financially successful—but it’s also the right thing to do. Deloitte
collaborates with business, government, and society, engaging in policy discussions and
initiatives to enable more women and underrepresented groups to enter the workforce,
remain employed, and advance to their full personal and professional potential.
DTTL provided support to a forum and the report, “Putting ALL ideas to work:
Women and entrepreneurship, exploring barriers to women’s entrepreneurship,
sponsored by the Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD.
DTTL also sponsored the Women’s Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP), an organization
based in Brussels, Belgium, which brings together organizations supporting women
entrepreneurs and business professionals to exchange best practices and information
that promotes female entrepreneurship. WEP is the first point of contact for EU policy
makers—particularly Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and officials of the
European Commission—who are committed to advancing this challenge.
Various initiatives also are active across Deloitte member firms.
In India, for example,
DTTL and Deloitte US have supported Pratham USA to open six “Achievement
Centers” targeting education and training for young women. More than 1,300 young
women who had previously dropped out of school have enrolled in the program since
2011. Deloitte US continued to support two centers in 2014-15 in Hyderabad that have
an enrollment of more than 200 women.
Deloitte Middle East (DME) continued its “Women March” initiative, a month of firm,
client, and community activities devoted to raising awareness of empowerment,
investment, and acceleration of women advancement across the Middle East.
DME is
also active in and sits on advisory councils of NGOs mentoring professional women
leaders in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries; and is a founding member
of the 30% Club-GCC chapter that is leading a groundbreaking longitudinal research
study on perceptions of national and expat men and women leaders toward progress
of women to senior management and board-level positions.
Deloitte Germany expanded its Leader.In network activities, an initiative that consists
of a series of events and the Leader.In group on LinkedIn. Leader.In aims to catalyze
change by connecting participants with influential women and men who are
authorities on diversity-associated topics. Leading practices are shared in an effort to
continue discussions and identify an ideal framework for female leadership in business,
politics, and society.

Ethics
Our network’s purpose-driven pursuit of quality and integrity
Respected organizations around the world trust Deloitte professionals to execute their
most ambitious projects, manage highly confidential information, and develop ideas
and approaches that can alter the course of their businesses. That trust has been and
continues to be earned thousands of times each day by Deloitte member firm people.
Ethical behavior among Deloitte professionals is non-negotiable. That’s why DTTL
Global Ethics and member firm ethics teams continue to aggressively integrate ethics
into key initiatives and processes, stressing quality and consistency of approach across
the network.
During the past year, Deloitte enhanced its focus on anti-corruption, appointing
a DTTL anti-corruption officer and member firm anti-corruption champions who
will work together to build and sustain effective programs. Deloitte Global Ethics
launched a new classroom-based ethics training program for the network, and
adapted its existing new-manager training session into four short e-learning modules
for individuals whose travel schedules make classroom training difficult.
DTTL and
member firm ethics leaders also developed a new package of measurement and
communication tools to gauge and improve the effectiveness of the network’s local
ethics programs.
Deloitte continues to reinforce its ethics organization, training, and assessment
processes because we understand what is at stake—for clients and for us.
The bigger picture
“Deloitte stakeholders expect our network to lead by delivering quality and acting with
integrity. Our member firm ethics programs, with the support of the Deloitte Global
Ethics team, help Deloitte people to see that,” says Gianmario Crescentino, Deloitte
Global Chief Ethics Officer and Managing Director, Risk and Reputation. “To make an
impact that matters, each of us has a personal responsibility to conduct business with
high integrity, quality, and levels of professional behavior.
We recognize that we are all
role models to others—and we make decisions that align to our Purpose.”
The Deloitte Global Ethics team and the member firm ethics officers work together to
design and implement policies and programs to promote and sustain ethical conduct
by Deloitte professionals. Ethics training is required for all Deloitte professionals every
two years.
Anti-corruption has been a priority for Deloitte Global Ethics in recent years. During
FY2015, Deloitte continued to focus on this topic, appointing a DTTL anti-corruption
officer and member firm anti-corruption champions.
They will work together to build
and sustain effective anti-corruption programs. Deloitte Global Ethics also initiated
network-building activities, including global and regional webcasts and meetings, to
facilitate best-practice sharing. And working groups of member firm anti-corruption
leaders were established to develop new e-learning and enhance existing thirdparty due diligence guidance to help ensure corruption risks are identified and
addressed appropriately.
Education and training enhancements
During the past year, Deloitte Global Ethics launched a new, highly interactive
classroom-based ethics training program, suitable for all levels and roles.
Sessions
focus on discussing dilemmas and stressing the importance of consultation to reach
solutions that align with Deloitte’s values and principles. The program was rolled out
to member firms and the more than 2,000 DTTL professionals.
Deloitte Global Ethics also expanded training opportunities for new managers across
the network—a key staff group with important ethical responsibilities for their
teams—by creating a modular, e-learning version of their live, new-manager ethics
program. This option, which focuses on decision-making skills and being an ethical
leader and role model, provides a flexible alternative for the busy and often-traveling
manager group.

summary
Deloitte Global Ethics continues to work with learning teams throughout Deloitte to
incorporate similar exercises into new-hire orientation, manager training, and other
business-focused programs.
For example, during FY2015, Deloitte
Global Ethics collaborated with the
Deloitte Global Audit Learning team
to embed ethics messaging into the
“soft skills” and team management
elements of the Audit New Manager
Transition Experience program. This will
include discussion and debrief points
in facilitator and coach guides and
prework, an additional dilemma for
discussion, and enhanced messaging
around ethics and integrity. The focus is
on enhancing new managers’ understanding of their position as role models and the
importance of consultation, as well as developing their ethical risk sensitivity, helping
them recognize potential issues.
Deloitte Global Ethics also continued to integrate ethics across the Deloitte University
curriculum so that ethics is not treated as a standalone topic, but instead, is part
of the conversation across many disciplines. To this end, the network is proactively
engaging with other risk areas, such as confidentiality, privacy, and information
security, to present a holistic approach to training and awareness across the risk
spectrum, with a focus on the importance of speaking up, consultation, and ethical
decision making.
Measuring impact
DTTL’s ethics practice review program is conducted on a rotational basis to measure
member firm compliance with global policy and support continuous improvement in
ethics program management.
In FY2015, 11 Deloitte member firms were visited by the
Deloitte Global Ethics team and other ethics leaders from the member firm network.
Reviews conducted this past year focused on (among other things) ensuring that
member firm approaches to ethics are proactive, that member firm ethics training and
communications are engaging, and that member firm programs are collaborative and
linked with other vital business functions, such as Talent and Learning.
DTTL’s annual member firm ethics survey continues to be an important tool to
measure the effectiveness of member firm ethics programs. The survey captures
Deloitte professionals’ perceptions of ethical culture, tone at the top, and personal
responsibility for ethical behavior. Member firms use the results of the survey to create
action plans for continuous improvement of their ethics programs.
DTTL and member firm ethics leaders worked together in FY2015 to develop a new
package of tools to measure the effectiveness of member firm ethics programs using
a benchmarking survey, ethics maturity model, and focus-group questionnaires.
They
also created communications tools, including message maps, to support member firm
leaders in delivering consistent communication that builds the tone at the top and
reinforces the importance of ethics and integrity to their people.
Deloitte member firms strive to uphold the trust placed in them by clients and the
capital markets and to build a similar sense of trust among their professionals. One
of the most important responsibilities of DTTL and member firm senior leaders is
to emphasize commitment to ethical behavior and reinforce the responsibility of
everyone in the organization to act with integrity.
The Deloitte Global Ethics team and the member firm ethics officers work closely
with senior Deloitte leaders to carry out the organization’s ethics programs. These
programs are designed to help Deloitte people understand expectations for ethical
behavior, develop skills for ethical decision making, and gain the confidence to speak
up about challenging ethical situations.
DTTL’s formal ethics program is composed of the following elements:
• The Ethical Principles and Shared Values of the Deloitte network;
• A global ethics policy that sets out the requirements for member firms’ own
ethics programs;
• A global anti-corruption policy that addresses matters such as bribery, facilitation
payments, political and charitable contributions, and gifts and entertainment;
• Ethics training programs, including an introductory online course, classroom
programs, facilitator-led interactive case discussions and online advanced
training course;
• Support activities, including communications, workshops, and webinars to facilitate
best practice sharing among member firms;
• Provision of a survey, a self-assessment questionnaire, and other tools (such as focus
group guidance) to allow member firms to measure their program’s effectiveness; and
• A practice review program to measure compliance with global ethics policies and
encourage collaborative discussions and continuous improvement over time.

Independence
Preserving the public’s trust
For 170 years, objectivity and impartiality have been the cornerstones upon which
our network is built. Without them, Deloitte could not cultivate confidence and trust
in the markets, nor could we uphold the integrity of organizations. Our very Purpose
would be beyond our reach.
There can be no margin for error. That’s why every Deloitte professional, from the
newest assistant to the most senior leader, must comply with well-established policies
and procedures to ensure his or her independence.
Regulators demand it. Clients need
it. The public expects it.
So, we deliver it.
The bigger picture
Independence and quality are essential to our integrity, our impartiality, our obligation
to serve the investing public, and Deloitte member firms’ ability to retain and
attract clients.
Japan’s post-disaster economy
Standards for independence are shaped by legislation, regulations, professional
guidance, and public expectations. Maintaining independence, therefore, is both a
matter of compliance with rules and regulations and a matter of appearance.

summary
Deloitte member firms comply with well-established policies and implement
appropriate procedures to help safeguard their objectivity and independence. These
policies and procedures help ensure member firms act in the interests of both the
public and their clients, as well as protect our brand and reputation.
The DTTL Board of Directors has adopted robust independence policies and processes
to help DTTL, Deloitte member firms, and their people safeguard their objectivity.
DTTL requires all of its member firms to follow DTTL’s independence policies and
procedures, which address potential conflicts—within or among member firms—
arising from the proposed acceptance of client engagements or proposed business or
financial relationships.
DTTL’s independence policies and procedures are designed to allow member firms
to comply with independence standards and regulatory requirements to achieve
excellence in professional performance.
These policies and procedures are based,
for the most part, on the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants. When the national requirements
that apply are more restrictive than the requirements in the DTTL policies, member
firms must follow those requirements, as well.
Maintaining internal compliance
Deloitte member firms frequently serve the same clients in multiple jurisdictions. Each
member firm considering whether to accept a new client or new engagement at an
existing client must consider the independence needs of other member firms.
For
existing audit clients, a member firm must evaluate the independence implications
of other member firms’ relationships with that client, including the provision of
non-audit services.
Each member firm has a partner assigned with responsibility for the independence
quality controls in the member firm, including monitoring compliance with those
controls. On an annual basis, all member firms report to DTTL that they have
conducted procedures for determining that their firm and professionals are in
compliance with DTTL’s independence policies.
Leading through change
Deloitte member firms face a dynamic regulatory environment in which national
rulemaking often has broad-reaching global implications. DTTL has independence
resources that provide member firms with information and guidance on independence
issues, as well as enabling technologies to help member firms comply with rapidly
changing requirements.
These DTTL resources continually engage with member firm
leaders, as well as external professional and regulatory bodies, to advance objectivity
and independence concepts.

Global Report illustrates the many ways
Deloitte makes an impact that matters
The chief objective of the Global Report is to provide all Deloitte stakeholders with a
broad and balanced picture of our network’s impact on society, our Purpose-driven
business activities, and the actions that exemplify our aspiration to become the
undisputed global leader in professional services.
We strive to address stakeholders’ interests and questions, while explaining our
motivations, priorities, and approaches. We identify key stakeholders as those who:
• Help influence Deloitte’s success;
• Are highly affected by what we do;
• Affect the markets, regulations, and industries in which we operate; or
• Affect the supply of resources that we need to serve our clients, talent, and
society.
Deloitte professionals engage continuously with key stakeholders, both internal and
external. In FY2015, this continuous engagement was supplemented with a structured
stakeholder engagement and materiality assessment, the details of which can be
found in the Basis of reporting section. The assessment surfaced material aspects for
Deloitte which were classified into three categories according to their relative rankings
on a materiality matrix.
In the context of this report, material aspects are those that reflect Deloitte’s
significant economic, environmental, and social impacts, or substantively influence the
assessments and decisions of stakeholders.
Aspects can be material either within the
boundaries of Deloitte, external to Deloitte, or both. They also can be geographically
bound. Except as noted on the following page, all aspects shown in the matrix are
material to DTTL, the member firm network, or both.
Aspects material outside the
organization include client satisfaction, privacy, and data security, which are material
to clients; ethics and integrity, which are material to clients and regulators; and supply
chain management and human rights, which are material to suppliers. Several issues
are also material to society at large, such as community engagement, public policy
engagement, and greenhouse gas emissions. Water is predominantly material outside
of Deloitte (water used by suppliers in producing products or services we consume)
and is primarily material to society in geographic locations with water scarcity issues.
Watch David Pearson,
Deloitte Global Chief
Sustainability Officer,
discuss why sustainability
matters to the Deloitte
network and member
firm clients.
A detailed description of
this report’s boundaries
and the performance
measurement methods
used is available in the
Basis of reporting section.
A full list of the stakeholders with whom Deloitte
engages and the issues they have identified to us
as being of value is available in the Stakeholder

Our ongoing engagement helps
us report on the right issues, in addition to keeping
stakeholders informed of our business strategy.

summary
This document provides additional details about the scope and calculation methods
used in the Deloitte 2015 Global Report (the “Global Report”), available at
www.deloitte.com/GlobalReport. It should be read in conjunction with the Global Report
and all definitions used therein unless otherwise stated also apply to this document.
Defining Global Report content
Deloitte professionals engage continuously with key stakeholders, both internal and
external, as part of routine business. Along with this ongoing engagement, DTTL
commissioned a formal stakeholder engagement process and materiality assessment
to assist DTTL in identifying key areas of impact upon which to focus the Global
Report content.
The materiality assessment process was grounded in the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) G4 principles of materiality and stakeholder inclusiveness. The strength of
the materiality assessment methodology utilized revolves around the design and
implementation of a systematic and disciplined approach to stakeholder engagement,
as well as topic prioritization based upon a decision-sciences approach.
The first step in the process was to investigate the expectations for corporate
responsibility and sustainability for Deloitte by analyzing supplier questionnaires,
benchmarking reports of peers and sustainability award-winners, examining
sustainability guidelines, and researching publications of internationally recognized
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
Using this process narrowed a large universe
of issues down to a list of potential relevant topics.
To gather further stakeholder insight into material topics, Deloitte identified a specific
list of stakeholders and identified engagement methods designed to maximize
feedback from each group. We conducted interviews with external stakeholders
including strategic member firm clients, academic institutions, and internationally
recognized NGOs. The direct feedback from interviews helped identify emerging
issues and prioritize each group’s concerns.
Internally, we conversed with Deloitte
leaders from across the network and DTTL regulatory affairs and governmental
liaisons. The annual Deloitte Millennial Surveys provided insight into the interests of
current and future talent. Involvement by DTTL personnel in external bodies working
on standards development, such as the Professional Services Sustainability Roundtable
(convened by the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship), also served as a
source for industry perspectives.
Systems and processes in place within Deloitte were
also considered as they often reflect a response to stakeholder concerns (see the
Stakeholder engagement summary for specific examples).
Finally, a systematic weighting methodology was applied to the feedback and research
to prioritize the list of potential relevant topics. Parameters used in the weighting
methodology included the prevalence of an issue across multiple sources, the
identification and frequency of mention of specific issues by individuals interviewed,
and the consideration of specific systems or processes put into place by Deloitte as a
result of direct stakeholder feedback. The topics were prioritized across a materiality
matrix comparing topics of importance to the business against topics of importance
to stakeholders.
DTTL also exercised some judgement to include a small number of
topics that were not explicitly identified through the evaluation process; however,
they were assumed to be fundamental business imperatives to both internal and
external stakeholders. These consisted of financial performance, governance, and risk
management.
Scope and methods for performance measurements
DTTL adhered to widely accepted standards in developing the Global Report. These
standards define a systematic approach to understanding the issues that the Global
Report should cover and measuring and documenting performance with regard
to those issues.
Performance measures for societal impact and environmental
sustainability are based on widely recognized guidelines.
For reporting on societal impact, DTTL considered the reporting standards from the
Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) and the London Benchmarking
Group (LBG). The monetary value of community activities was estimated according
to the type of service performed. The value of volunteer work was based on local
member firms’ staff costs.
Pro bono work, defined as work that the member firms
have delivered to not-for-profit organizations free of charge or at a significantly
reduced rate, has been valued at fair market rates representative of the local member
firms’ client service rates for comparable services.
Estimates of carbon emissions were prepared according to the Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard created by the World
Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD) with emissions accounted for on the basis of operational control. While the
reporting for FY2015 includes a significant number of Scope 3 sources, it does not
consider full upstream and downstream emissions across all sources.
FY2015 environmental performance data in the Global Report was directly collected
from 29 member firms and from DTTL. These entities represent 87 percent of
aggregate Deloitte people and 95 percent of aggregate member firm revenues.
Extrapolations were used to account for the emissions of the remainder of the
organization that did not directly report data.
FY2015 societal impact data was
reported by 35 member firms and DTTL, which represent 97 percent of aggregate
Deloitte people and 97 percent of aggregate member firm revenues. Estimates of
societal impact contributions were not made for the member firms that did not report
this data due to the variations in societal impact activities across member firms. It
should be recognized that these reporting gaps limit the year-to-year comparability

of the data. Comparability is expected to improve over time as the number of
nonreporting member firms decreases. Data that formed the basis of the reporting
was obtained from financial reporting systems, other internal records, and outside
sources such as travel agencies, utilities, and property managers. In FY2014, DTTL
streamlined the way it reported environmental sustainability data.
We have continued
with these practices in FY2015 including the following:
• Refrigerants, district heating, and district cooling are eliminated from aggregate
network reporting.
• Paper consumption is tracked, but associated greenhouse gas emissions are not.
• Methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are not separately calculated in instances
where published sources do not incorporate these into carbon-dioxide equivalent
(CO2e) factors.
Strengthening humanitarian
response to crises
• Global warming potentials (GWPs) incorporated into published emission factors
are used “as is” and no attempt is made to reconcile to one common set of GWPs.
Where choices can be made, we use the 100-year Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)
with climate-carbon feedback incorporated as published by the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change.

DTTL recommends its member firms select the most accurate, source-specific,
localized, and recently published GHG emission factor available for each emission
source, such as specific emission factors for a local electric utility. DTTL also provides
member firms with default emission factors, the majority of which come from the
following sources:

Changes from FY2014
The Deloitte 2015 Global Report incorporates many of the GRI’s G4 guidelines,
whereas the Deloitte 2014 Global Report met the G3.1 requirements for Application
Level B. DTTL advanced toward reporting “in accordance” with G4 guidelines in the
future by undertaking a formal stakeholder engagement exercise and materiality
assessment during FY2015 that identified key areas of impact upon which to focus the
content of the Global Report.
While the FY2015 Global Report is not “in accordance”
with core or comprehensive G4 guidelines, it includes the G4 index and identification
of material indicators. DTTL anticipates continued exploration of the systems,
policies, and approaches that will allow us to meet “in accordance” criteria for future
reporting.
Building-related emission sources
Building-related emission sources included in the GHG emissions data of the Global
Report were those associated with the use of electricity, heating oil, and natural gas
in the office buildings and data centers that DTTL member firms either own or over
which they have operational control. Upstream building-related emission sources, such
as those associated with electric transmission and distribution line losses, were not
included in the GHG emissions inventory.
Some of the activity data associated with building-related emission sources was
available directly to the DTTL member firms.
For example, some facilities have direct
utility meters or submeters from which DTTL member firms obtain readings. For
facilities that have no available meter data, activity data for the entire building was
typically allocated on the basis of the percentage of total building floor space used
(based on rentable square meters) by the DTTL member firm. Where building-specific
data was unavailable, DTTL member firms estimated electricity and fuel usage using
actual data from a similar building or an average from a recognized source.
A simplifying assumption is used for calculating the volume of diesel fuel used for
backup power generation.
It is assumed that diesel fuel purchased during the fiscal
year is used that year. This method likely overestimates actual emissions in some years
and underestimates them in others, but over time, captures the related emissions.
Business travel — Air
Reported GHG emissions from air travel are those resulting from professionals flying for
business reasons in accordance with DTTL and member firm policies. GHG emissions
from flights taken by non-Deloitte personnel are also reported in instances where flight
activity data are captured in DTTL or member firm travel systems and reimbursed or
paid for by DTTL or a member firm (such as travel by family members in accordance with
policies or travel by prospective DTTL and member firm professionals).
The majority of
business air travel data was obtained from DTTL and member firm travel systems. Much
of the rest was obtained from travel expense records.

The default GHG emission factors used to calculate emissions from air travel were
based on information published by DEFRA. Flight segments were identified by
distance, and emission factors were applied according to whether the flight segment
was categorized as long haul (more than 1108 km), medium haul (463 to 1108 km) or
short haul (less than 463 km). Seat class-specific emission factors (e.g., First, Business,
Premium Economy, Economy) were used for a small number of member firms as
experience in FY2014 led us to drop class-specific factors from Deloitte US data due to
uncertainty associated with seat-class identification. The DEFRA emission factors used
incorporated an uplift factor to account for nondirect routes, delays, and circling, but
exclude radiative forcing and indirect emissions.
Accommodations
The GHG emissions inventory in the report includes emissions from accommodations
at hotels, guest houses, and apartments for business reasons and in accordance with
DTTL and member firm policies.
Data was collected from corporate travel agency
records, travel expense reports, and internal records.
Estimations
In calculating emissions, various estimations and extrapolations were made to account
for known data gaps.
Reported GHG emissions from business travel by automobiles includes travel in
Deloitte-owned vehicle fleets (personnel driving in vehicles owned by DTTL and/or
the member firm), reimbursed driving (personnel driving in personal cars for which
they are reimbursed), rental cars (personnel driving in rented/hired cars for which
the member firm pays), buses, and taxis (reimbursed personnel trips in buses, taxis,
car-service vehicles, and limousines).
For many travel activities, activity information and cost data were available both from
travel providers (reservation systems, travel agencies, or travel vendors) and from
DTTL or member firm expense systems. Travel expenses recorded in DTTL or member
firm expense systems often exceeded the corresponding expenses recorded by travel
providers because of travel arrangements made outside of reservation systems or
without travel agencies. In cases where such differences were identified, the travel
activity data associated with the incremental cost was estimated based on the same
proportion of cost to activity that was reflected by the travel system reservations.
Regulatory and public
policy engagement
For road travel, activity data was gathered from expense reports, rental agency
records, travel agency records, company accounting systems, fuel receipts, odometer
logs, and receipts or other records indicating distance and location of trip segments.
When fuel information was available, GHG emissions are calculated on the basis of
mobile combustion factors for the given fuel type.
When only distance information
was available, GHG emissions were calculated on the basis of average emissions
factors (emissions per kilometer travelled) for vehicles according to vehicle type (bus or
car), fuel type (diesel, petrol, hybrid, or unknown), and location.
Not every member firm has the capacity to report activity data for GHG emissions,
and some member firms report on some, but not all, of the activities within the report
boundaries. Ratios of emissions per full-time equivalent (FTE) by emission source were
calculated for the member firms that reported, and averages of these ratios were
calculated based on clusters of geographic location and size. Using the appropriate
cluster ratio, missing data was extrapolated based on the known FTE data.
Consistent
with other GRI indicators, emissions intensity per FTE was calculated using the FTE
total at the reporting year-end (31 May 2015).
Ethics: Delivering quality
and integrity
A very limited amount of personnel commuting activity data for was available from
member firms. Where available, this information was added to the emissions total.
Independence: Preserving the
public’s trust
Business travel — Rail
While the above description is intended to be as accurate as possible, invariably the
inventory will contain some exceptions to this reporting basis. None of the known
exceptions are considered to materially change the total emissions reported.

summary
Business travel — Road
Rail travel accounts for GHG emissions from trips by personnel on subways, railways,
and trams, with different GHG emission factors used for each type of rail system.
Activity data sources included travel agency reports, expense reports, company
accounting systems, receipts, and other records indicating the distance and location of
trip segments.
In cases where actual distance was unavailable, estimates were made
using travel expense data and average travel costs per unit of distance traveled.
Emission factors
The following table shows emission factors that were used in the inventory.
Where factors are used in specific countries only, these are listed after the emission
source.

“Deloitte”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a UK private company limited by guarantee (“DTTL”), its network of member firms, and their related entities. DTTL and each of its member firms are legally separate

This publication contains general information only, and none of DTTL, its member firms, or their related entities (collectively, the “Deloitte Network”) is, by means of this publication, rendering professional advice or services.
Before making any decision or
taking any action that may affect your finances or your business, you should consult a qualified professional adviser. No entity in the Deloitte Network shall be responsible for any loss whatsoever sustained by any person who relies on this publication.
For the convenience of the reader, a member firm of DTTL in a particular country is identified in the body of this report by the word “Deloitte” coupled with a country name (e.g., Deloitte Greece), in lieu of using the actual legal name of the member firm of
DTTL in that country. In many countries, services may be provided by the actual member firms but could also be provided in addition by—or solely by—subsidiaries or affiliates of the DTTL member firm in that country, which are often organized as separate
legal entities.
Specifically, with respect to the United States, Deloitte LLP is the member firm of DTTL and does not provide services.
Services in the United States are provided by Deloitte LLP’s subsidiaries; including Deloitte & Touche LLP, Deloitte Tax LLP, Deloitte Consulting
LLP, and Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP. All of these US entities are referred to in this publication as “Deloitte United States.” Certain services may not be available to attest clients under the rules and regulations of public accounting. Additionally, for
the purposes of this publication only, individuals are identified by their name and the nomenclature discussed above for referring to a DTTL member firm, whether that individual is a partner, principal, shareholder, member, director, or employee of that DTTL
member firm or one or more of its subsidiaries or affiliates (e.g., Paige Flanagan, Deloitte Ireland).
