PwC Malaysia

Supporting social enterprises aligns closely with the PwC’s Purpose ‘to build trust in society and solve important problems’, showcasing our commitment to being a responsible business.

PwC Social Enterprise Mentorship

The PwC Social Enterprise (SE) Mentoring Programme is a 3-month mentorship programme that aims to bridge the gap between experienced professionals and social entrepreneurs, providing them with the guidance and support they need to navigate the complexities of the business world. The mentorship sessions were conducted via FutureLab’s mentorship portal.

We focused on 3 core areas that our people could provide expertise in:

Impact:

  • 17 Social Enterprises and 20 mentors from PwC Malaysia participated in this Programme
  • 92% of mentees found their mentors were able to address their challenges and provided valuable insights
  • 92% of mentors found the Programme rewarding, recognising the valuable two-way learning experience and saw that corporates can potentially benefit from some of the unique business practices of social enterprises. 

Supporting local social entrepreneurs: 

We continue to support and bring awareness on social enterprises to our people and embed this throughout the firm.

 

  • At PwC Diversity Week 2022 and 2023, we featured local social enterprises which empower people with disabilities (PWDs) by offering training and/or jobs. Our collective purchases from SEs totaled an impressive RM10.8k in just one day. 
  • We collaborated with Infinite Minds Academy in designing our corporate T-shirts with a purpose – they are designed by individuals from neurodiverse backgrounds.
  • We support social procurement by onboarding social enterprises as vendors. This  is an opportunity for our people to support purchasing with impact e.g. B40 and PWDs as vendors.
