With vision into the future: We accompany you on a virtual mountain expedition through three of the most important business events of the coming months - the UN Climate Summit, the Munich Security Conference and the South by Southwest technology festival. 

The mountain tour is crowned by our KPMG Gipfelfest, a hybrid conference where we jointly envisage the path to a successful future. 

On the three stages Basecamp, Ascent and High Camp, we look at the megatrends ESG, digital transformation, governance & compliance and business resilience with expert:inside knowledge and best practice examples and provide orientation for your currently most important challenges.

Equipped with this knowledge, we will climb the KPMG Future Summit together on 15 June 2023. Here, we will bring together the topics of the previous events and look at future paths to success for your company.

The Basecamp - Clean Climbing: Sustainability Strategies for Summit Climbers

When: 15 November 2022 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Where: Virtual conference

What: The expedition began with the megatrend of sustainability. Because there is less and less time to limit the damage of global, man-made climate change. Companies bear a great responsibility in this regard. How can the transformation to renewable energies succeed? What role does the "S" in ESG play in investment decisions, balance sheets and strategic issues? And how should corporate governance be structured to meet ESG requirements?

We  discussed this in our virtual conference KPMG Basecamp. The event took place in parallel to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 27).

Keynote: Andreas Gehlhaar, Head of Sustainability and Environment, Deutsche Bahn AG.

Our guests:

  • Christian Heller, CEO, Value Balancing Alliance
  • Nadine-Lan Hönighaus, Managing Director, Econsense and Member of the Advisory Board of the German Federal Government for the Implementation of the Supply Chain Sourcing Obligations Act

This is the KPMG Expedition

We accompany you with expert knowledge and best practice examples through three of the most important business events of the coming months. At each event, we address your most pressing challenges and provide guidance and directional recommendations.

The first stage, the KPMG Basecamp, is a virtual conference parallel to the UN Climate Summit (COP 27). Appropriately thematically, we are dealing here with the megatrend ESG and sustainability.

The second stage, KPMG Ascent, focuses on future-oriented corporate governance. The virtual conference will take place in addition to the Munich Security Conference.

Our third stage complements South by Southwest: at the KPMG Altitude Camp, everything revolves around digital and networked strategies.

Equipped with the knowledge around the key megatrends ESG, digital transformation, governance & compliance and business resilience, we climb the highest peak together in a large hybrid conference. A wide range of programme items is precisely tailored to your topics, needs and interests.
