Helping clients meet their business challenges begins with an in-depth understanding of the industries in which they work. That’s why KPMG LLP established its industry-driven structure. In fact, KPMG LLP was the first of the Big Four firms to organize itself along the same industry lines as clients.

Develop a sustainability strategy 

We help organizations understand and baseline their current performance, set environmental, social and governance (sustainability) goals, evaluate both the financial and sustainability impact of potential initiatives, and develop roadmaps for improved sustainability financial value.

What is my sustainability strategy?

An increasing body of evidence indicates that companies can both do good and do well financially, which is contributing to a record number of companies setting out on their own “sustainability journeys”.
