In today’s world, challenges may come from every angle — human, financial, environmental, technological, geopolitical — and the pace of change is accelerating.
Facing such complexity, at EY we ask: How can we help stakeholders shape their future, rather than be shaped by it?
That takes confidence — the confidence to ask better questions and act on the answers, the confidence to empower people to make bold decisions and the confidence to innovate and change.
Understanding what matters most to our stakeholders, drawing on the breadth of our experience, the depth of our capabilities and the ongoing investment we make in our people is what helps our stakeholders stay ahead of change. Working together, we believe we can shape the future with confidence — an optimistic future where business, people and society thrive.

Volatility, rapid technological change and geopolitical upheaval have become the new normal.
While uncertainty can cause organizations to hesitate, leadership today means acting with confidence: making bold choices, driving growth and helping stakeholders navigate change at speed.
Against this backdrop, what differentiates EY is our ability to bring the full strength of our globally connected network to every client — across service lines, industries, geographies, delivery models and our 119 alliance and ecosystem partners. When we collaborate seamlessly, we move faster, build trust and solve bigger problems for all our stakeholders.
Our All in strategy was designed precisely for this environment. Over the past two years, deliberate choices, disciplined execution and targeted investment have helped us build a stronger, more integrated EY, positioning us to deliver new value for our clients and our organization.
We are leading through change.
This year, EY has embraced new ways of collaborating with clients and each other; accelerated our AI capabilities; modernized our solutions, service delivery and commercial models; and scaled the platforms and teaming needed to provide greater value to our clients.
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: trust is more than simply a requirement, it’s a competitive advantage. Clients need confidence that they can adopt AI responsibly and deploy it securely. Here, EY has a distinct role to play, combining technology, data and our alliance ecosystem with human judgment and trusted knowledge to help clients move from ambition to measurable value.
This year, we introduced ey.ai The Reimagination Engine, which brings together our technology, EY people and our ecosystem to help clients scale AI confidently, moving beyond experimentation to enterprise-wide transformation.
EY also continues to act as “Client Zero,” scaling AI across our own organization to accelerate how we serve clients and provide them with the benefit of our real-world experience. This includes rolling out agentic AI across 160,000 audit engagements in Assurance; introducing ey.ai Value Blueprints in Consulting; advancing Tax AI Knowledge and the AI Factory; and developing EY-Parthenon’s Digital Diligence Assistant and Valuation AI tools.
No organization can shape the future alone.
EY teams work with an ecosystem of category-leading organizations to provide the right technology, capabilities and insights to help clients create value and transform at speed and scale.
From the landmark US$1b that EY and Microsoft are investing to help clients scale enterprise-wide AI, to our recognition by NVIDIA as 2026 Global System Integrator Tech Innovation Partner of the Year, these relationships help us drive innovation and bring clients comprehensive solutions to their most complex challenges.
We recognize that AI is only as valuable as the hands that shape it. Leaders have a critical role in helping people embrace the potential of AI, engaging in dialogue about how the technology is being used, how it can enhance their work and how they will be supported through the transition.
That is why we continue to invest in helping our people combine technology with the skills, judgment and trust needed to realize their full potential. EY people completed 5.2 million hours of AI learning in this financial year, and over 40,000 advanced AI learning credentials were awarded to EY people through EY Badges.
A future-ready workforce, shaping the EY of tomorrow.
In the face of all this change, our success as an organization depends on our people and ensuring they have the skills, experiences and leadership capabilities they need to thrive and become shapers of the future.
This year, EY people completed an average of more than 60 hours of training each, on topics ranging from agentic AI to supply-chain management. We also launched a new EY leadership framework to align our culture with our All in ambition and strategy, along with initiatives to embed an All in mindset across our organization.
Our purpose, Building a better working world, continues to guide us. We look for ways to use our skills to help society and foster sustainable and inclusive growth. This year, EY people contributed 853,000 hours to community initiatives and EY Ripples, our global social impact program, which has positively impacted more than 300 million lives since its launch in 2018. Our AI for Good programs have reached more than 25 million people, supported by more than 70,000 EY professionals across 130+ countries.
We are also taking action to reduce our own environmental impact. Since FY19, EY has achieved a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, while growing by 57% in revenue over the same period. We continue to make measurable progress while helping stakeholders navigate their own sustainability and growth ambitions.
Looking forward with confidence.
We are proud of what EY people have accomplished this year and confident in what we are building for the future.
Periods of disruption create a choice: wait for clarity or help shape what comes next. At EY, we have chosen to shape it. We have continued to make bold choices and invest in the capabilities that matter most, knowing that navigating uncertainty requires speed, collaboration and insight-led execution.
These choices are creating a more global, AI-enabled EY that moves faster, solves bigger problems and delivers at scale. Together, we are shaping the future with confidence for EY clients, people and society.
