Family Business | KPMG Family Business Times | December Edition (2021)
Welcome to our quarterly update sharing our latest insights, ideas and events tailored for owners of family businesses.
As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the challenges and successes of 2021. Despite continued uncertainties created by Covid-19, family businesses have shown their resilience and appetite to invest and grow for the future. The focus on business transformation, social responsibility (including ESG) and the vibrant M&A market look to continue through to next year giving us an optimistic outlook for 2022.
With COP26 recently wrapped up in Glasgow, our world leaders have made important progress in pledging climate co-operation. However, as family business leaders, now is the time to take action to realise a sustainable and responsible future for generations to come. To help you build your plans, and answer key questions around your company’s exposure to climate change, we have a host of materials from our Climate IQ assessment tool and Greenovate for a better economy report, in partnership with Cambridge University, so you can unleash the positive in net zero.
We also react to the Chancellor’s 2021 Autumn Budget in our Budget on a page guide covering the key measures and through our Autumn Budget 2021 insights page which breaks down implications on employers, individuals, private businesses and different sectors.
If you have any questions or comments regarding any of the topics in this newsletter, or other matters you would like to discuss, please contact us at familybusiness@kpmg.co.uk.
