Deloitte

We are one of three Climate Partners for major finance organisation, Deloitte.

Soil Association is delighted to partner with Deloitte. This exciting partnership currently focuses on improving farming systems through volunteering programmes and the provision of professional advice.

Deloitte is a leading global provider of audit and assurance, finance, risk and tax advisory services. It has developed its ethical culture and purpose, including its ‘World Climate’ sustainability strategy, which supports its people to play their part by making responsible climate choices within its organisation and beyond.

Through the partnership, Deloitte supports Soil Association in its mission to help everyone understand and explore the vital relationship between the health of our soil, plants, animals and people to combat the effects of intensive farming systems.

Colleagues at Deloitte are also invited to get their boots on and help plant new hedgerows at Woodoaks Farm in Hertfordshire. This farm was gifted to the charity and is transitioning to organic farming. The re-establishment of the hedgerows will help boost biodiversity and increase the number of pollinators and predators. Trees and hedgerows are beneficial for nature, soil and the planet.

As part of Deloitte’s 5 Million Futures commitments, they have also teamed up with 2 other charities - Wildfowl & Wetlands Trusts (WWT) and the Whale & Dolphin Conservation. The WWT protect wetlands and wildlife across the world. The Whale & Dolphin Conservation seeks to ensure whale conservation globally and conducts research into the huge carbon storage abilities of whales.

Tracy Wyman, Climate Social Value and Ecosystems Lead of Deloitte, said: “The partnership with Soil Association is one of the ways Deloitte is bringing the firm’s purpose to life by making an impact that matters on one of the most critical challenges of our lifetime: climate change. Deloitte is supporting the organisational aims of these 3 charities to improve farming systems, preserve wetlands and protect whales and dolphins through specific volunteering programmes and by providing services pro bono.

“All 3 of these charities bring knowledge and experience in conservation, restoration and climate solutions to the partnerships, which will help to inform, engage and educate Deloitte’s people and to strengthen our work, helping our clients on their own paths to net zero.”
