As a firm with more than 2000 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:

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 people.
