Reducing food waste

Plan ZHeroes (PZ) is a London based charity that’s helping combat food waste. We built them a platform for local businesses to post their surplus food and charities to collect and use it. PZ has since redistributed more than 130 tonnes of produce that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. The solution is so scalable and flexible, PZ is now operating in cities across the UK. We’re continuing to update and improve the platform.

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s delivering bold new solutions to our clients, offering world-class development opportunities to our people, or improving how we work internally, everyone’s always encouraged to think; how could we do this better?

Just one example is that we’ve recently digitised the processes our new joiners have to go through, transforming their experience. Not only has it given our new colleagues nearly half a day of their time back, the environment has benefitted too; over 100,000 pieces of paper have been saved so far.

Your career in Consulting at Deloitte will be about more than solving clients’ problems. You’re sure to make a positive impact for wider society too. As well as being encouraged and enabled to volunteer, you’ll be working on projects day-to-day that touch many people’s lives.

One example includes our work with Save the Children. We’ve helped them respond more effectively to humanitarian crises, by providing the HR technology to track assignments and highlight where best to send resources. They’re now able to mobilise the right emergency teams faster.

You could also be helping the world meet its Sustainable Development Goals, if you join our ongoing, planet-saving project in collaboration with SAP, HP and the UN Global Compact. There are so many opportunities to make a real impact here.
