Making it personal

As one of the leading professional services firms in Canada, KPMG believes in the power of business and our people to drive social change. KPMG Impact is about just that – channeling our collective experience, skills and energy to build strong and sustainable communities.

As part of their role at KPMG, our people are active citizens who leverage their experience to support organizations and causes that make an impact. We are supporting the overall success of our people, including their professional and personal fulfilment.

For KPMG Impact, success is measured by the impact each one of us has when we are fully engaged.

The KPMG Impact Awards recognize and celebrate the positive impact our people make on social issues, inclusion, diversity and equity, mental health, and the environment through community volunteerism, employee-led initiatives in the firm, and socially impactful client work. Please join us in congratulating the recipients of the 2023 Impact Awards. These recipients—who were chosen by a panel of their peers—live KPMG’s purpose and exemplify our values.
