2023 update of KPMG's global impact plan

At KPMG, we have just recently updated our global comprehensive impact plan which was launched in 2021 with the goal of ”Net Zero” emissions in 2030, 20 years earlier than stipulated by the Paris Agreement.

The Global Impact Plan includes all our ESG commitments across our global organisation and shows the progress we have made together over the last 12 months in each of our four priority areas: Governance, People, Planet and Prosperity.

We analyse what we can and should be doing to meet our responsibility to help shape a better future by doing what we do best – solving problems to make lasting, meaningful change. Because of KPMG's 265,000 employees and presence in 143 countries the launch of our Impact Plan has an extensive global potential.

Some of our highlights in this year’s edition include achieving a 50:50 gender balance on our Global Management Team and using our scale to invite more than 500 key global suppliers to disclose their carbon footprint data. Below you can find an overview of our commitments within our four priority areas.

Across all KPMG firms in our global organisation, our supply chain has a substantial impact on our ESG agenda, and in turn our procurement teams — responsible for managing our supply chain-related functions — are integral to our journey to a sustainable future.

Since our last report, we’ve engaged with the CDP Supply Chain program and have invited more than 500 key global suppliers to disclose their carbon footprint data through CDP. This year, we’re looking to encourage increased participation and work with our suppliers to identify opportunities to reduce the carbon impact of our supply chain.
