OREANDA-NEWS. PricewaterhouseCoopers' Ulysses Programme has been named a recipient of a Corporate Citizenship Award by Global HR News, a media and conference company based in California, reported the press-centre of  PricewaterhouseCoopers.

PricewaterhouseCoopers’ “Ulysses Programme”, a global leadership development programme, was started in 2001 and has sent 80 partners from 32 territories on 26 projects in 20 different developing countries. One of the objectives of the programme is “to integrate stakeholder collaboration into the role of high performance business to create sustainable success for communities and markets across the world.”

An example of this would be the 2005 Rural Electrification Project in Madagascar where four PwC Partners from Russia, France, Indonesia, and the US went to the Andapa and Sambava Districts of Madagascar to work with a UNDP to do a social-economic study to guide the selection of projects best suited to reduce poverty and create economic growth. The programme consists of eight weeks of preparation, eight weeks on location, and a week of review and recommendations, plus follow-up. Among the benefits PwC sees for this programme is creating “a sustainable brand in which PwC is differentiated by the quality of our relationships with our people, our clients and the community.”
