Ethos is guided by industry specialists such as Nathan Young, senior manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP, the offering’s head of strategy; and Julius Tapper, manager, Deloitte Consulting LLP, head of inclusive innovation for Ethos. “As climate change and equity continue to be top of mind for U.S. consumers, it is imperative that brands consider investing in innovation around these topics,” said Young. “Ethos is designed to give leaders the support they need to follow through on their purpose priorities and engage their audience with the change they’re leading.”

Ethos complements Deloitte’s other existing and rapidly growing offerings in the purpose, DEI, ESG and sustainability domains. The Ethos offering comes to life through the collaboration of Deloitte’s vast talent pool, from customer strategists to ethnographers and designers to technologists and DEI specialists.

“Today, employees and consumers are showing up as activists and expecting businesses to commit to and follow through on societal issues,” said Stacy Kemp, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and Ethos offering leader for Deloitte Digital. “Our new Ethos offering presents a gateway to CMOs, CXOs and heads of product to access Deloitte’s services to help develop their customer-facing purpose agendas and actionable solutions.”
