      KPMG has been named among the top nine global firms recognized for excellence in sustainability services, according to the HFS Horizon Sustainability Services 2024 report by HFS Research — a leading global analyst firm specializing in strategic insights at the intersection of technology, innovation, and sustainable business.

      KPMG received the “Horizon 3 Market Leader” designation, the highest ranking awarded by HFS, which highlights firms that demonstrate strong capabilities, depth of expertise, and the ability to deliver globally integrated yet locally relevant ESG advisory services.

      The report highlights several key strengths that set KPMG apart:

      • Strategic tech partnerships with Microsoft, Workiva, and SAP to deliver innovative ESG solutions. This is particularly relevant in Kazakhstan, where digitalization of ESG practices is becoming a priority for businesses.
      • Tailored training and leadership development to embed sustainability into business culture and long-term strategy.
      • Pro bono consulting and social responsibility initiatives that reflect the firm’s core values and contribute to building inclusive, sustainable communities.
      • Global-local integration, ensuring alignment with international ESG standards while adapting to local regulations and market realities.
      I am delighted that KPMG firms have been recognized as a market leader by HFS Research for experience in sustainability services, highlighting a focus on designing and implementing tailored, technology-enabled strategies to support clients in protecting and creating long-term, sustainable value. This recognition speaks to KPMG firms’ capabilities, reaffirming that KPMG professionals are well-positioned to help clients on their sustainability journey, by embedding sustainability into an organization’s strategic decision-making.
