Global Green Initiative

Since 2010, we have been a member of a global KPMG initiative that undertakes to reduce the carbon footprint of the KPMG global network of member advisory firms by 15% by 2015.
We monitor our carbon footprint on a regular basis and continuously manage to minimise the impact of our undertakings on the environment.
Between 2012 and 2013 we managed to reduce our carbon footprint per employee by 12%. Between 2013 and 2014 we managed to reduce our carbon footprint per employee by 14%.

Considering the nature of our business, the areas we need to monitor primarily include waste (paper consumption) and business travel. Indicators for both aspects are shown in the tables below. [ More ]

„It may seem unlikely that a company active in the financial sphere will regularly teach its employees that true values do not take the form of financial indicators. For KPMG it is important to support the non-profit sector not only on a company level, but also through each and every employee. Through various inspiring activities – like, e.g., the popular Charity Days, KPMG reminds us not to let our hearts go idle.“
