KPMG is committed to the physical and social world around us by reducing our impact on the environment and increasing our positive impact on the communities we live in.  This commitment is a pillar of our firm strategy and we challenge ourselves every day to do more and do better, and encourage our people and others to help “Fuel New Zealand’s Prosperity” at work, at home and in our communities.

Lead by our Green Team, we are passionate about reducing our environmental footprint and continuing to find new ways to educate both our people, our suppliers and our communities. We are on a journey to identify, measure and monitor our environmental impact across all our operations in each of our offices in New Zealand. We are building a complete environmental footprint to enable us to perform accurate and transparent reporting. We have also published our first environmental strategy with ten 2020 goals. Reporting on our progress against these goals can be found in our annual Citizenship report.

In late 2018, as part of playing our part in reducing climate change impacts, we joined the Climate Leaders Coalition and established our zero carbon by 2030 goal. We are currently working on our roadmap to mitigate all possible emissions before we look to offset the remaining unavoidable emissions.

We will continue to work with our people, our clients and our suppliers to thrive towards a positive impact on our environment. If you have any comments or feedback on our environmental commitments, please feel free to contact us at greenteam@kpmg.co.nz.
