2022 Luxembourg Impact Report

Our support to Ukraine

"I am proud of the way our Firm acted as one to bring immediate support to those most affected by the war in Ukraine. Our longstanding commitment to taking care of each other met with the determination to remain a relentless force for good and for peace.” 
John Psaila, CEO and Managing Partner

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Deloitte and its talent, both here in Luxembourg and globally have mobilized to bring support to the most affected population.

Deloitte Luxembourg’s support took the following forms:

  • Coordination with our colleagues from across Europe, and especially from Deloitte Central Europe, to help our Ukrainian colleagues leave the country if they expressed the need and to find help and shelter in the very beginning of the war.
  • Together with other European member firms and the support of Deloitte Central Europe, we deployed a special and efficient task force to assist Deloitte Ukraine people to relocate and to organize a fast-track process to welcome Ukrainian professionals seeking a job opportunity within our Firm.
  • As our Firm counts Ukrainian colleagues among its professionals, we also provided support so that their relatives wishing to join their family members in Luxembourg could do so and would benefit from appropriate support and care before being addressed to the relevant authorities.
  • Experienced non-profit organizations play a critical role in times of conflicts to ensure that aid is being handed to those who need it the most. This is why the Firm made an initial donation of €100,000, accompanied by a second donation of €28,721 collected from Deloitte professionals, to the Deloitte Poland Foundation which has been providing support to affected populations from day one, including through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR).
  • Thanks to Deloitte Luxembourg’s employees, a donation of €54,000 was made to the Luxembourg Red Cross to support their activities in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries where refugees were taken. In addition, Deloitte purchased 150 tickets of a charity concert organized at the Philharmonie Luxembourg, representing a total amount of €7,350.
  • Deloitte Luxembourg professionals also made a donation by giving some of their lunch vouchers, raising altogether €3,099.60, which was added to our donation to Luxembourg Red Cross.
  • Many of our people also offered assistance and/or participated in personal initiatives not only to donate, but also to help collect items to answer primary needs and propose rooms to re-house Ukrainian people in their homes.

Key takeaways:

  • Deloitte’s WorldClass mission aims to positively impact 100 million lives by 2030, including 19,000 people locally and internationally through Deloitte Luxembourg’s support.
  • Deloitte Luxembourg focuses its support on local organizations involved in education, equality, and helping vulnerable people.
  • Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Deloitte and its people have mobilized to bring support to those affected the most.

Our support to communities

"We believe we have a responsibility in actively supporting the communities we live in. Luxembourg is home to many impactful organizations with whom we are proud to collaborate to help foster a more prosperous future – be it through education, climate protection or support to the most vulnerable, here and across the globe.” 
Francesca Messini, Sustainability Leader

We support Jonk Entrepreneuren Luxembourg, a Luxembourg ASBL or non-profit association that develops young people’s entrepreneurial skills and stimulates innovative ideas and initiatives through various tutoring programs.
 

Support to vulnerable people

We support Special Olympics Luxembourg, a Luxembourg ASBL whose ambition is to allow children, teenagers and adults with an intellectual disability to experience the joys of sport. It offers the practice of sports to all, without elitism or performance criteria.
