      Governance

      Our purpose and values guide everything we do



      For over 150 years, KPMG has inspired confidence and empowered change.

      Our purpose sits at the heart of everything we do. It compels us to make decisions that create a meaningful impact, take actions that engender trust, and consider the economic, environmental, and social impact of all our activities.


      • Our purpose

        By inspiring confidence in our people, clients and society, we help empower change and lead the way forward.

      • People

        We are a people business. Our people crave opportunities to do meaningful and impactful work while developing a thriving career in an inclusive, diverse and caring culture.

      • Clients

        We stimulate trust and confidence in business. Our clients seek our expertise to help solve their challenges and grow sustainably.

      • Society

        We have a responsibility to build a sustainable future. Society expects a fair, more equitable future for people and our planet.



      People

      Creating a caring, inclusive, purpose-led and values-driven culture for our people



      At its core, KPMG is a people business. When the best people choose to build a career with us, we can all thrive: our clients, our colleagues, our communities, and our planet.

      For this reason and more, we prioritize a culture where all our people are inspired to bring their authentic selves to work, supported in all aspects of their careers, and empowered to make impacts in their offices and communities.

      Ultimately, our people make the difference.

      Planet

      Reducing our impact on the environment to build a more sustainable and resilient future



      Our planet is at a crossroads. Choosing a healthier and more sustainable path means taking meaningful action on climate change and environmental challenges, both within our firm and the communities in which we live.

      Making a net positive impact on our planet is no small mission, but it is one that KPMG has fully embraced. We are developing an approach intended to help us reduce our emissions by 50% as of 2030 by adopting more sustainable practices, strategies, and technologies. We are in the process of developing a Climate Action Plan that will outline our strategy, metrics, and actions, which will be published at the end of 2025.* We are equally driven to support our clients and industry collaborators along their own net-zero and sustainability journeys.

      *KPMG in Canada recognizes the importance of establishing a robust transition plan in alignment with leading standards, such as those developed by the IFRS Transition Plan Taskforce and other emerging frameworks like those promulgated by the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB). Simultaneously, KPMG International is advancing efforts to finalize a transition plan for member firms globally. KPMG in Canada has consequently revised its timeline and now intends to publish its Climate Action Plan in 2026. For more information, please refer to page 79.



      Prosperity

      Making a positive and economic impact



      In FY23, we continued to make substantial contributions toward societal change and environmental sustainability through our Impact contributions and sponsorships, fundraising efforts, community contributions, and donations focusing on our impact priorities. Our total financial support to the community increased by 26% to $12M since 2022, enabling us to deepen our impact in our communities.

      Final thoughts from our Impact Leader

      As KPMG Impact Leader, I hear stories every day about the grassroots-level programs and initiatives we’re supporting that make tangible, positive impacts in communities across the country. I am so thankful for the commitment of the people making this happen—our Impact Plan Steering Committee, the National KPMG Impact team, the National Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID&E) team, the Executive ID&E Council, Impact Leads across our Canadian offices, our Green Champions, KPMG Foundation stakeholders, our many People Networks—and everyone at KPMG working together to make an impact every day.
