"Being named one of PEOPLE's Companies that Care is incredibly meaningful to us because it validates that we are truly living our values by being good, caring stewards for our people and our communities," said Crowe CEO Mark Baer. "This recognition is especially fulfilling because it is based on feedback provided by our employees and reaffirms that our people feel good about the impact the firm has on them and their families, as well as the communities where we live and work."
One example of the firm's culture of caring occurred earlier this month when Crowe hosted its first-ever Crowe Cares Day. Crowe's offices were closed for an entire day of service, and nearly 5,000 employees came together to volunteer across their communities. Collectively, Crowe people volunteered more than 20,500 hours that day, participating in firm-organized events or working with organizations important to them across more than 40 communities. The Crowe Foundation, the firm's charitable giving arm, also donated nearly $650,000 across more than 110 organizations where Crowe people volunteered that day.
In addition, earlier this year, Crowe signed the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) – the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative and a call to companies to align strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. In its UNGC commitment letter, Crowe pledged to focus on advancing the UNGC's sustainable development goals related to good health and well-being, reduced inequalities and responsible consumption and production.
"Sustainability means collectively making choices today that will allow all of us – our people, our clients and our communities – to thrive now and into the future. It's an obvious demonstration of our values and embodies our purpose of shaping a better tomorrow," shared Crowe Chief Operating Officer Brenda Torres. "As a firm, we continue to elevate conversations and drive positive change around well-being and DEI, both inside and outside of Crowe. Over the next year, we also have pledged to review our environmental impact, exploring initiatives to mitigate our climate risk, evaluating our suppliers and vendors and actively managing our waste footprint across our offices with an aim toward zero-waste practice."
