At the core of KPMG's vibrant culture are a set of values that bring out the best in our people.
KPMG operate in demanding conditions, with unprecedented scrutiny of our profession, and constant developments in regulation, law and market demands. Our reputation is created by the way the people within our firms respond to these conditions, and how they act with clients, with colleagues, and with their communities.
Our Values
Our Values guide our behaviors day-to-day, informing how we act, the decisions we make, and how we work with each other, our clients, companies that we audit, and all our stakeholders. Our core values are:
- Integrity: We do what is right.
- Excellence: We never stop learning and improving.
- Courage: We think and act boldly.
- Together: We respect each other and draw strength from our differences.
- For Better: We do what matters.
Our Culture
The KPMG culture is rooted in our values. Our integrity and policy of open and honest communication builds trust and collaboration, while our flexibility and diversity creates a culture in which people share knowledge freely, bringing out the very best in each other. Asked why they choose to work with KPMG member firms, many clients talk about our high level of professional ethics, our loyalty and our approachability.
Our culture extends beyond good business practice. We are also recognized for the efforts we make to alleviate poverty, support education and protect the environment around the world. KPMG member firms work diligently with other companies, governments and non-government organizations to address these problems and make a positive difference in peoples’ health, welfare and prosperity.
Our employees benefit from this forward-thinking approach. A critical element of KPMG’s vision is to be recognized as ‘employers of choice’ — to recruit, retain and develop the very best people.
This allows our people to flourish both as professionals and as individuals — to enjoy a challenging career and get the most from their personal lives. They do so knowing that they are part of a responsible and positive culture that extends beyond them into the greater business, social and natural environment.
Global Code of Conduct
At KPMG, we know that trust is earned by doing the right thing—not just some of the time but all of the time. And as the world rapidly changes and becomes more complex, this simple principle has never been more important.
We are committed to the highest standards of personal and professional behavior in everything we do. Ethics and integrity are core to who we are and why everyone at KPMG is held to this promise of excellence.
Within our Global Code of Conduct, we outline the responsibilities all KPMG people have to each other, our clients, and the public. It shows how our Values and Purpose inspire our greatest aspirations and guide all of our behaviors and actions. It defines what it means to work at and be part of KPMG, as well as our individual and collective responsibilities.
