The services provided by this practice include: ESG strategy, ESG risk management, ethical supply chain (including human rights), and the circular economy.
Cyber Security
Together with the increasing need for economic and governmental process digitalisation, there is exponential growth in the need to address cyber security threats. Securing personal data, protecting critical infrastructure, and sustaining government services and systems are some of the top priorities for governments all over the world. KPMG’s team supports public organisations, state-owned companies, and financial institutions to avoid data leaks and system interruptions, and build safe, reliable, and user-friendly digital environments.

Our anti-corruption professionals have extensive experience, knowledge, and global reach. KPMG helps our clients to define, assess, and respond to bribery and corruption issues, even when businesses span multiple jurisdictions and are governed by many different regulators.
Corporate governance and compliance
Good corporate governance is a foundational attribute for any healthy organisation, setting the tone for how you operate and behave both internally and toward the market in general. Corporate governance defines the relationship between the Board of Directors, management, and the rest of the organisation, expressing the reliability and stability of businesses and institutions to all stakeholders.
Investment attraction
Investments is one of the most effective ways to stimulate economic development; attracting financing and new players to the market helps clients to achieve their wider goals of providing better services, becoming more competitive on both domestic and international markets, and creating healthy competition to encourage innovation and improvement. KPMG in Ukraine’s core competencies include privatisation, public-private partnerships, investment opportunities and new potential partner discovery, deal structuring and preparation, policy advice on better investment strategies, and a host of methods to help investors take the temperature of the business climate of a country.

The energy sector needs a disciplined approach when preparing for both anticipated and unexpected changes and KPMG firms can help. The energy industry remains challenged by volatile commodity prices, an increasing trend toward decarbonisation, and a shifting economic, regulatory, and competitive landscape. We help both the public and private sector when it comes to evaluating and adjusting their supply chains and operating models to meet the demands of the current environment, as well as in identifying strategic trends, deal opportunities, new markets, and capital improvements.
Transport and Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the backbone of the economy and one of the biggest areas of concern for any government. KPMG’s Infrastructure team comprises a mix of specialists in financial and transaction advisory, economic consulting, strategy and business planning, major project advisory services, and digital and technology implementation, meaning that we can offer a value proposition from concept to delivery.

We understand the financial and operational drivers of the transport sector and can assist our clients in dealing with current and emerging issues and logistical trends.
