“The startup speakeasy” podcast by KPMG in India

In an era when building resilience and operating from a place of empathy is the need of the hour, KPMG in India reaffirms its unwavering commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices. Our Impact Plan 2024 demonstrates the resolve with which we make choices that help our clients and communities thrive.

This year, we have made notable progress in embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles as a watermark in all that we do. We remain steadfast in this approach, which helps us not only foster confidence but also enables innovation and partnership.

Over the last year, KPMG in India, alongside our global counterparts, has had remarkable achievements under the pillars of Governance, People, Planet and Prosperity. We have remained transparent and accountable and enhanced our efforts towards the wellbeing of our people and communities. Our collective commitment reflected in the 3.6Mn learning hours, averaging a robust 83 learning hours per person, and our employees and their families contributing over 124,000 volunteering hours. We believe we are on the right path.

Our social programmes extend support to initiatives that aim at improving the quality of education, help create exposure to new subjects and topics, foster innovation and empower underserved communities. Our business strategies are aligned to our ESG pledge, which helps us go beyond our business responsibilities, helps us to continue finding ways to lighten our footprint on the environment and create lasting value for our clients, communities and stakeholders.

This journey towards a future where business success and societal wellbeing coexist is outlined in this report, which also invites our stakeholders to join us in this transformative quest.

We are confident that through collaboration, we can surpass the ordinary and establish an extraordinary legacy for future generations. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our clients, stakeholders and communities for their ongoing support and partnership as we work towards creating a better, more sustainable world – One World, One Family.
