KPMG in Belgium grows 12,7%

The well-being of our people is of paramount importance as well. Next to all our existing support initiatives, we further improved our Together@KPMG program. Over the past months, over 500 people took a Human Energy Scan, and over 170 people participated in one of the four tailored programs to improve the way they manage stress, sleep, nutrition and exercise. Additionally, more than 340 colleagues joined our corporate sports events.

As noted in Our Impact Plan, we remain dedicated to putting Inclusion, Diversity and Equity at the heart of what we do. We’re nearing a full gender balance at the firm, with a 46,4% women and 53,6% men balance for FY23. To tackle the challenge of increasing the number of women in leadership positions, we introduced a female leadership program.

Our workforce of 2000+ people is rich in diversity, counting an impressive 57 different nationalities, represented by our International Community. In addition to the other existing Community of Young Professionals, we launched the Parents, Gender and BePride Communities. They help us to better represent the diversity that enriches our firm and tackle the unique challenges they face at work through events, activities, and experience sharing. We keep working towards a highly inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and safe.  

The impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues is clearer than ever. Therefore we’re proud to have earned a silver rating for EcoVadis, the global standard for business sustainability ratings. The rating validates and helps demonstrate our commitment to sustainability as a firm.

In our efforts to become a net-zero organization, FY23 marked a drastic transformation to make our fleet greener: 330 electric vehicles are currently in use and 450 more (and counting) have been ordered. Simultaneously, our mobility policy continues to go beyond the car. We encourage alternative mobility solutions for commuting and introduced the Belgian mobility budget, all available in function of our people’s individual needs.

Next to our internal sustainability efforts, KPMG recognizes that we can make the most impact through our sustainability service, by supporting and guiding organizations throughout their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) journeys. By advising our clients in their ESG transformations, we want to help accelerate change across a variety of business sectors, to benefit society.

In addition to having a positive impact through our professional services, we want to give our people the opportunity to create more prosperity for the wider KPMG community via their own projects and initiatives. This year marked the launch of our KPMG Foundation, a body that helps us structure and streamline volunteering work and provides the time and budget for projects that are close to our people’s hearts. This year, 150 people spent 790 hours volunteering for 12 big projects.

Looking forward, we can proudly announce that we are going to plant our own KPMG forest in January 2024. Investing in our own forest rather than doing just a one-off planting action, we demonstrate our long-term dedication to our planet and our people.
