Stakeholders are varied and numerous across KPMG’s global network of firms. Professionals aim to understand their impact through regular engagement with clients across the public, private and civil society sectors; with regulators and standards setters; their own people, suppliers and business partners; local and international non-government organizations; the media; and the communities in which they operate.

Through the services firms provide and the relationships KPMG professionals develop, they aim to work strategically with all stakeholders to fulfill a greater sense of purpose.

Throughout the year engagements vary in quantity and subject matter. Depending on current events and timely issues, stakeholders are engaged on subjects as diverse as the future of corporate reporting to pay and reward and sustainable development.
