The 2024 update of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments —
our roadmap in driving sustainable progress on our vulnerable planet.
The world today is undergoing significant changes, presenting unique opportunities for growth and innovation.
At KPMG, we view this as a time to embrace our Purpose — to inspire confidence and empower change — as it has never been so relevant. Confidence is needed to navigate the uncertainty of this dynamic environment and accelerating change is needed to build a more sustainable future.
Answering that calling starts with great people with strong values and skills across many different disciplines. Our people are our bedrock and form the foundation of our organisation. They are driven by a strong purpose, led by our Values, equipped with knowledge and skills, and motivated to find solutions for the world’s biggest challenges.
KPMG is at our very best when we are working together, side-by-side with clients, alliance partners and wider stakeholders to solve problems, big or small. From businesses to NGOs, governments to communities, we help them by bringing our best experience and knowledge, paired with cutting-edge technology and innovation, to drive progress.
Trust and integrity are at the heart of our relationships with businesses, governments, and communities. By upholding strong ESG principles and delivering innovative solutions, we support Singapore's vision of a Forward Singapore, creating lasting business impact and driving positive change for the future.”
