Embracing the ESG agenda is as important to our people as it is to our clients and the wider community. Coming out of the global pandemic, KPMG in Malaysia is taking it as an opportunity to accelerate the positive changes we aspired for – not only on an organizational level but also on a national scale.
KPMG in Malaysia is proud to demonstrate our ESG efforts and progress in this inaugural Our Impact Plan report, encompassing sustainability performances of all eight KPMG offices nationwide, namely Petaling Jaya, Penang, Johor, Ipoh, Kuching, Miri, Kota Kinabalu and Labuan. This report covers the period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022. It entails our vision, plans and commitments to our ESG agenda to guide our firm’s continued growth along four key pillars: People, Prosperity, Planet and Governance.
I am immensely proud to be part of the leadership team and partnership in Malaysia for committing to leave KPMG in Malaysia better than we found it. This commitment and passion to enable positive change has been ingrained in our culture since 1928, when the first office of KPMG in Malaysia was established in Ipoh. The firm’s achievements today are credited to the contributions of the generations of KPMG professionals over the past 95 years in Malaysia.
Executing on our ESG agenda effectively will enable us to achieve the aspiration for one of our KPMG’s values, “Together, For Better” and I trust that my fellow KPMGians will rise to the challenge.
