Our Values
Our values define who we are. They are the fundamental beliefs of our global organisation. They guide our actions and behaviour. They influence the way we work with each other – and the way we serve our clients and engage with our communities.
Every day, each one of us makes choices and decisions that directly affect the way we experience each other and the way our clients and wider communities experience us. Our values give us confidence that we are using the same principles to help us make these decisions throughout our global organisation.
Every year, we celebrate the way we live our values through our Chairman’s Values Award. Through this award, we give our people the opportunity to recognise their colleagues who are bringing our values to life every day. This is an important way in which we are building our shared culture, founded on our strong commitment to our values.
Our Company Credo
Globalisation is shaping our world: it’s expanding horizons as trade, technology and investment increasingly connect countries and companies around the globe; and it’s compressing time and distance as people and products move – and ideas spread – faster than ever before.
At Bernstroff & Sons, we have long thought that globalisation is one of the defining issues of our time. Our response has been to transform our organisation so that we keep in step with the changing needs of our clients and our people.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurs make a difference. They not only have great ideas, but also the drive to make them a reality. They use their fresh thinking and hard work to create positive social change – bringing new concepts and products to market, and creating jobs and wealth.
We have long recognised the potential of entrepreneurs. Over the past three decades, we have been working with entrepreneurs, adapting our experience, industry capabilities and resources to work for entrepreneurial, fast-growth companies. We work with a range of businesses, from those receiving their first venture funding through to large mid-cap companies, whose value may be measured in billions of dollars.
Our commitment to entrepreneurial companies, in both emerging and developed economies around the world, helps ensure that we’re working with more of tomorrow’s global leaders, today.
Our Sonsorships & Programs
Nowhere is this passion so rewarding as in our significant sponsorship of the arts, which brings important works to a wider audience than would otherwise see them. Art feeds the soul. It uplifts, inspires and enlightens us. And, in this fast-paced life, it offers us moments of stillness and reflection. Ernst & Young is proud to have a strong connection with some of Australia’s leading art institutions.
With a visual arts sponsorship portfolio spanning almost two decades and including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Art Gallery of Western Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of South Australia, Ernst & Young helps bring exceptional exhibitions of local and international art to Australian audiences.
