Our partnership with One Young World (OYW) develops young professionals into future leaders who can solve the world’s toughest challenges.
From September 5-8 September 2022, a delegation of 70 Deloitte professionals, 10 OYW scholars and 3 Lead2030 challenge winners will attend the OYW Summit. The Summit brings together young leaders from around the world annually for a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to be inspired to make a positive impact, develop leadership skills and build their global networks.
This year’s Summit will take place in Manchester, UK and will focus on five key issues: conflict prevention, gender equality, oceans, ethical leadership and health. After the Summit, Deloitte’s OYW delegation will commit to address complex global challenges and drive impact in their communities.
Michele Parmelee, Deloitte Global Deputy CEO and Chief People & Purpose Officer will lead a presentation-stage session at the OYW Summit 2022 on the topic of preparing women and girls with the skills and knowledge for a thriving future. She will join prominent business, government and humanitarian leaders to share her insights and encourage delegates to translate their Summit experience into action to create positive change.
At Deloitte, we believe we have a responsibility to be a force for good and lead the way on the increasingly complex challenges society faces today. Our partnership with OYW develops our young people into leaders who can address global issues.
Our collaboration with OYW is an important component of Deloitte’s key global impact initiatives–including WorldClass and WorldClimate–and furthers our commitment to do our part to address the societal issues of our time and to create a better future.
Through our WorldClass initiative, we aim to reach 100 million people by 2030, investing in innovative approaches to support education, digital skills development and training opportunities so everyone can succeed in the modern economy.
Through our WorldClimate strategy, Deloitte is working to drive responsible climate choices within our organization and beyond–doing our part to help address the climate crisis and help the world achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
This year, Deloitte is proudly supporting two OYW Lead2030 Challenges. For the third year, Deloitte is supporting innovative, youth-led initiatives that make an impact towards addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 – Quality Education. Through this challenge we invest in solutions focused on access to education, skills development, lifelong learning and entrepreneurship.
And new this year, Deloitte is supporting a challenge focused on SDG #13 – Climate Action. This challenge aims to address climate change in bold, meaningful, innovative ways – from empowering local people undertaking climate action to strengthening resilience.
