KPMG publishes ‘KPMG: Our Impact Plan 2022’ reporting on progress against environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments. Highlights include:
� Advancements on commitments towards net zero by 2030
The creation and introduction of our new Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (IDE) Collective Action Plan
New commitments to support education and economic empowerment
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 23 March 2022 – KPMG International today published an update of its progress towards a broad set of ESG commitments, first published in 2021. KPMG: Our Impact Plan outlines how the entire global organization is coming together to support improvements across four pillars: Planet, People, Prosperity and Governance. Our Impact Plan catalogues the most recent data from across the global organization and charts the progress made against the World Economic Forum (WEF) International Business Council (IBC) metrics, which KPMG played a fundamental role in shaping.
Bill Thomas, Global Chairman and CEO, said: “As the world faces one of the most significant periods of unrest for a generation, more than ever, we are acutely aware of our responsibility to support our people, clients and societies to work together to secure a better, sustainable, more united future. KPMG was among the first in our profession to publicly catalogue our ESG commitments and report against them. As we face ever-increasing challenges in the world, we know we must hold ourselves accountable for the decisions we make which will help shape the future. That is why we are publishing our progress today and will continue to work with stakeholders, colleagues and clients to support the positive changes we need to see in the world.”
Ong Pang Thye, Managing Partner, KPMG in Singapore said: “Climate change and social equity are all economic issues and company challenges. On top of national policies and regulations, company-level strategies such as internal carbon pricing signals will be needed to signal commitment and shift stakeholders towards positive outcomes of impact. As countries worldwide, including Singapore, reaffirm their net-zero targets and environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, KPMG’s Our Impact Plan 2022 narrates a roadmap of how measurable change could look like for enterprises, industries, communities and employees whom we work with, and how it begins with collective accountability, undergirded by the foundations of trust and transparency.”
KPMG: Our Impact Plan reaffirms our long-standing adherence to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact Principles, a commitment we will continue to strengthen and report on openly. Some of the highlights of this year’s update include:
Jane Lawrie, Global Head of Corporate Affairs, said: “In advancing Our Impact Plan, we aim to focus on the issues that are most important to our people, central to our business and where we can make the biggest difference. We’re responding to events that are reshaping our world and taking actions that are core to the sustainable future of our people, clients and communities. Our Impact Plan not only highlights what we stand for as a global organization, it also provides a clear ESG roadmap for the organization and shows us, and our stakeholders, if we are on track.”
Richard Threlfall, Global Head of ESG and KPMG IMPACT, said: “It’s incumbent upon business, political and civic leaders to tackle the challenges that impact the future of our planet and threaten our quality of life, now and for future generations. We are wholeheartedly committed to supporting the responsible transformation of organizations including our own and encourage one and all to face what seems like an overwhelming challenge with positivity and a sense of collective responsibility.”
