As a firm with almost 1,900 skillful, passionate, and hard-working people, we believe we can and must contribute meaningfully to our communities. Our philanthropic initiatives reflect the causes close to our people’s hearts, aligned with our Impact Plan, which is why we’ve chosen to partner with organizations where we can involve our people to advance youth development, cancer research and mentorship, among others.
Our commitments in action
At KPMG, our philanthropic focus is aligned with our Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) strategy, Our KPMG Impact Plan. Within this plan, we have committed to collectively contributing 3,750 hours of volunteering per year, starting in 2022.
We also look for partners whose values are aligned with our own, with complementary knowledge, skills and resources, and with whom we can work together to amplify our impact and deliver on our commitments.
This includes partnerships with organizations such as:
BeCode
Kom Op Tegen Kanker (KOTK)
YouthStart
My Machine
A non-profit organization that connects people across generations. In MyMachine, the cooperation and interaction between the three educational levels is central. Steps 1-2-3 in the MyMachine methodology are not separate steps. On the contrary. The whole process is based on co-creation, collaboration between students of all educational levels who work together as equals to create "dream machines" during one school/academy year.
KPMG Foundation
The KPMG Foundation groups all our philanthropic activities in Belgium, including our volunteering work, our main ESG partnerships, disaster relief and smaller volunteering projects proposed by our employees.
KPMG Forest
KPMG is collaborating with the Flemish organization BOS+ to plant our own KPMG Forest. Through this project, we want to increase awareness of our sustainability efforts and the positive effect of creating natural space and we will offset a small part of our CO2 emissions.
