Growing with purpose

2021 was a banner year for KPMG. We achieved record growth in a challenging business climate, unveiled KPMG: Our Impact Plan to help drive sustainable change across our organization, and launched an agressive plan for our firm to help others achieve their environmental, social, and governance goals by embedding ESG in everything that we do. To say it was busy would be an understatement. This year was the culmination of many years of hard work — four to be exact — when KPMG firms came together to chart a new trajectory for the organization and committed to a bold ambition to become the most trusted and trustworthy professional services firm.

Nothing is more important than earning the trust of our stakeholders, and we know that must be the foundation of our growth. Building it requires a relentless focus on our values, our purpose, and quality. And having achieved double digit growth in FY21, we are just beginning to see the benefits of being uncompromising on consistency and accountability in our actions. I am proud of KPMG and the great people that walk its halls — in person and virtually.

But now is not the time to rest. As we look forward to FY22, there is still a lot more that KPMG and clients need to do. The world still finds itself dealing with a pandemic, technology is reshaping all of business, and ESG issues, like climate change, social injustice and income inequality, need to be addressed. These are real, substantial challenges, but also vast opportunities to reshape the future, for better.

I am optimistic that better things are yet to come, and on behalf of all the great people here at KPMG, I wanted to thank our clients and everyone that works with us for the trust you have put in our organization and our people. We won’t let you down. Thank you.
