We believe that we can maximize our social and environmental impact with corporate responsibility. The principle of our actions is sustainability, which is also part of our corporate culture.

The goal of our corporate responsibility (CR) strategy is to ensure that responsible thinking penetrates all of our business decisions and activities. Our strategy incorporates the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a framework for describing and measuring our impact on society and the environment. Our governance structure ensures that corporate responsibility is managed on a strategic level and integrated into the overall operation of the company. Our CR manager is responsible for developing and implementing our corporate responsibility strategy, and reports directly to the National Senior Partner and coordinate the work of an internal working group, in which all business areas and seniorities are represented.

Communities

Focusing on sustainability, life-long learning, inclusion and diversity, we make a valuable contribution to our communities through volunteering.

We support the economic and financial education and career planning of young adults through own events and sponsored initiatives. Within KPMG, we support bottom-up voluntary activities under the “CReators” program. Our colleagues can dedicate three working days per year to volunteering, including centrally organized professional pro bono jobs as well as individual initiatives supported by the company.
