KPMG’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments are outlined in our global ESG plan, i.e. Our Impact Plan. The plan focuses on four categories: People, Planet, Prosperity, and Governance. Within these, guided by our local double materiality assessment, we have identified local priorities and set targets to signpost our journey and hold ourselves accountable for our progress.
Donations and voluntary work
The annual KPMG Community Day organized in both Finland and Estonia offers our people an opportunity to spend the day volunteering for various charities and causes aligned with our Our Impact Plan themes and Values. In Estonia three working days per financial year can also be spend taking up voluntary work, either together with co-workers or independently.
KPMG supports selected charities with donations for the important work they do in society. In 2025 we focused on promoting wellbeing of children and young people as well as environment.
In 2025, we donated to the following charities:
- Riigikaitse Edendamise SA – aid to Ukraine
- The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation
- Cancer Foundation Finland
- HelsinkiMissio
- WWF’s natural disaster fund
- Save the Children Finland’s “Eväitä Elämälle” program
- John Nurminen Foundation for saving the Baltic Sea and its heritage
Our total contributions made during the financial year were 90,000 euros.
Tax footprint
The concept of a tax footprint refers to the tax revenue and tax-like payments accumulated from the company’s operations for the benefit of society. Our tax footprint covers all of KPMG’s subsidiaries in Finland and Estonia.
During the 2025 financial year, KPMG Finland Group paid and collected €113 million to governments, which represented 43% of our turnover. Due to the nature of our industry, personnel-related tax payments constitute most of our taxes.
During the 2025 financial year, KPMG Finland Group received no financial assistance nor any subsidies from the government.
Recognitions and certifications
Green Office
WWF Green Office is an established environmental management system designed to help workplaces reduce their carbon footprint and use natural resources more sustainably. WWF Green Office is specifically designed for office environment to help reduce its carbon footprint and use natural resources sustainably. The program is flexible and scalable, making it suitable for both small and large workplaces across public and private sectors.
KPMG Helsinki has been part of the WWF Green Office network since 2015, when our office received its first Green Office certification. Since then, we have systematically developed our environmental program and strengthened our sustainability practices. The most recent inspection in April 2024 confirmed our continued compliance with WWF’s criteria, resulting in a renewed certification valid for the next three years.
By participating in WWF Green Office program, we contribute to broader sustainability goals, including WWF’s international conservation work, funded partly through annual fees. The program also aligns with global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, offering concrete actions for reducing environmental impact in everyday office operations.
