This is KPMG in Singapore's seventh annual Sustainability Report and the third year utilizing the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards achieving ‘In-accordance – Core’.

2016 was a significant milestone year for KPMG Singapore – it was the year we celebrated our 75th anniversary. We celebrated the KPMG story by remembering that our purpose in our community is to inspire confidence and empower change. Our 2016 sustainability report focuses on these pillars: our clients, community, and people.

Guided by our values, we live out our purpose through our professional work – where we inspire the confidence of our clients and their investors, strengthening the capital markets and economies in which they operate, building and restoring trust.

Building Public Trust through working with our clients, community and people will always be an integral part of our KPMG story. It is what will make KPMG an even stronger, better and more sustainable firm for the future.

This report covers KPMG's operations in Singapore. Its scope and content have been guided by an analysis of issues and their impact material to KPMG in Singapore and its stakeholders. Our intention is to produce an annual sustainability report and this edition covers the calendar year ended December 2016.
