      Our vision is to help empower and drive opportunity in disadvantaged communities across the UK. So, where you’re from, or your background, doesn’t dictate your life chances. 

      Our commitments

      We’ve committed to give one million young people the opportunity to build their skills by 2030

      Our community strategy

      We lead community projects with purpose to strengthen our society, and work collaboratively with schools, charities, community groups and other businesses to ensure we create a lasting impact, for better. Our key areas of focus are: 

      • Social mobility in the community

        Our community work harnesses the power of education; recognising that numeracy, literacy and lifelong learning skills are the building blocks for social mobility.

      • Strategic philanthropy, volunteering and pro bono

        Our strategic charity partnerships bring funding and expertise to help tackle disadvantage.


      Through our Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability strategy, we aim to champion social mobility; safeguard our environment and raise funds for vital causes.

      We are proud of the progress we have made alongside our partners and remain dedicated to continuous improvement. Together, we can play our part in creating a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.

      How we're progressing against our targets

      • Support Students – we work directly with young people to develop the skills they will need to thrive in the future through mentoring, tutoring and offering ‘world of work’ visits.
      • Empower schools and communities – we support schools, teachers and communities to create positive change within the education sector.
      • Research, convene and influence – we use our voice and influence to drive campaigns and research.

      In 2025, we were proud to support 330,382 people through a range of activities including in-office visits, school workshops, and campaign activities through strategic partnerships with National Numeracy and the National Literacy Trust.

      Since launching Opening Doors to Opportunities in 2023, we have now supported over 800,000 people to develop their skills. This includes providing over 16,000 young people with a ‘world of work’ insight day, hosted in our offices across the UK. 

      Collaborating across sectors

      We have been joining forces with organisations who share our ambition on social mobility. Through shared office visits, students visit KPMG and businesses from different sectors - including legal, travel, engineering, infrastructure and many more. Being able to compare and contrast different businesses and sectors will allow young people to experience the world of work and make informed decisions about their futures.

      In 2024, our colleagues chose FareShare as our national charity partner for three years, supporting the charity to provide nutritious meals from surplus food to those in need.

      FareShare provides surplus food to over 8,000 charities and community groups, who transform this food into parcels and meals to feed nearly 1 million people.  These organisations also offer holistic support services aimed at addressing the causes of food poverty, helping people overcome mental health challenges, domestic abuse situations, unemployment and more.

      Our partnership

      As we move into the second year of our partnership, we are proud of what we have achieved, raising over £450,000. On top of this, our colleagues have given valuable time and expertise to support FareShare through volunteering and pro bono.

      For every £1 we raise through our partnership, FareShare will be able to redistribute the equivalent of five meals to those who need it most.  Our new National Charity Partnership with FareShare launched in October 2024 and will run until September 2027, over which time we aim to provide them with £2m worth of support including fundraising, volunteering, thought leadership and pro bono.

      *In addition to fundraising, donations and pro bono support, the value of total support provided to FareShare includes additional provision, such as the value of in-kind contributions.
