Community of Young Professionals

At KPMG, we recognize that the next generation has a key role to play in the future of sustainable business. That’s why we actively empower our young professionals with opportunities to help shape our sustainability agenda and drive innovation across the firm. By giving early-career talent a platform to share their perspectives on strategic topics, we ensure that sustainability remains a cornerstone of our long-term vision.

What is the Community of Young Professionals (CoYP)?

The CoYP is a dynamic group of 20 enthusiastic KPMG employees who are passionate about making a positive impact. This community brings together early-career professionals from across the firm to help shape key areas of the KPMG Impact Plan, including Environmental Impact, Social Inclusion, and Collective Wellbeing.

How is the CoYP organized?

To maximize its impact, the CoYP is structured into three dedicated hubs, each with its own mission:

Eco & Green Hub:
Focused on championing environmental sustainability, this hub raises awareness about eco-friendly practices and leads initiatives that encourage both our people and the wider community to take meaningful action for the planet.
Unity & Empowerment Hub:
This hub aims to foster a more inclusive, resilient, and vibrant community by bringing people together, inspiring collective action, and supporting social inclusion.
Wellbeing & Growth Hub:
Dedicated to wellbeing and personal development, this hub provides opportunities for professional growth, promotes physical and mental health, and supports initiatives that benefit both our people and the broader community.

Examples of CoYP initiatives

The CoYP leads and supports a variety of impactful projects, including:

Impact Plan Month: A series of events and workshops that encourage employee engagement with KPMG’s sustainability strategy, Our KPMG Impact Plan.
Winter Market: An annual event that builds community spirit and raises funds for charitable causes, such as the Warmste Week.
Saint-Nicholas Toy Collection: A campaign to collect toys for children in need, organized in partnership with local food banks.
YouthStart Collaboration: Supporting underprivileged youth by providing them with entrepreneurial skills and resources.
Blood Donation: Regularly organized in collaboration with the Red Cross to support public health.
Reusable Office Cup Initiative: Promoting environmental responsibility by distributing sustainable, reusable cups throughout our organization.

Our commitment

Through the CoYP, KPMG empowers its early-career talent to bring fresh ideas to the table and take on active roles as ambassadors for sustainable business - both within our firm and in the wider community. Together, we are committed to inspiring confidence, driving positive change, and building a more sustainable future for all.
