Our IMPACT Plan

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

• KPMG has set a global commitment for the KPMG network to achieve 50% reduction in emissions by 2030. We are aiming to support them in this with the development of our KPMG Islands Group Decarbonisation Plan.
• Colleague-led program of initiatives to promote environmentally conscious decision making.
• Working with our suppliers to help us achieve our commitments to our environment.
• A revised travel policy with the aim of making better decisions to support our commitment to the environment.

Our goal is to create a caring, inclusive and values-led culture for our people, and this is how:

• Our Inclusion, Diversity and Equity are initiatives actively managed under one programme with the aim of achieving an inclusive culture built on trust, an educated empathetic workforce and advocating equal opportunity.
• Curated learning opportunities to support a greater variety of career pathways and skill development.
• All managers trained in how to have wellbeing conversations. Enhanced package of wellbeing support for employees.
• Leadership development programmes to improve representation of underrepresented groups in leadership positions.
• Enhanced programme of support available to working parents and those returning to work.
• An intelligent working policy following colleague feedback to empower employees to choose their working environment.

Driving purposeful business practices and good corporate citizenship. Our commitments through the Prosperity Pillar:
