The three letters E, S & G (Environmental, Social and Governance) represent perhaps the greatest megatrend of our time and a fundamental transformation of the economy.
Companies, investors, and consumers across industries are seeking ways to reduce negative social and environmental impacts and bridge the gap to a more sustainable world.

With its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it published in 2015, the United Nations set forward-looking goals for socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable development to be achieved by all UN member states by 2030. The 17 goals focus on the most urgent challenges of our time and provide politicians with a framework for action. The SDGs are intended to offer companies a basis for setting their corporate strategy.
KPMG – a founding member of UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition - is committed to making significant contributions to help ensure inclusive and equitable education for all.
The Swiss Federal Council outlined the political implementation of the SDGs in Switzerland in its sustainability development strategy (2030 SDS). In this strategy it formulated guidelines for future federal policy and set goals for 2030 as well as domestic and foreign strategic thrusts with corresponding political focal points. Thus, companies can already get an idea of what to expect in these areas and make corresponding adjustments.
An action plan for the years 2021 to 2023 fleshes out the sustainability strategy 2030 with selected new measures at the federal level, which are to be defined taking account of existing political programs. As a result, these changes will also affect the operational environment of companies, a fact that needs to be recognized. Because this is the only way to take advantage of opportunities and counteract risks in a timely manner.
