KPMG Sustainability Actions

Published a global impact plan

KPMG has published a global Our Impact Plan report that groups its ESG work into four areas: People, Planet, Prosperity, and Governance. The plan says the firm uses local materiality assessments, which means it looks at the issues most important in each place it operates, and sets targets to track progress. It also says the report includes data books, highlights, and case studies. This shows KPMG is reporting on its own sustainability work rather than only advising clients about theirs.

Set a 2030 emissions target

KPMG says it is globally committed to halving its carbon emissions by 2030. It says this target is aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, which means it is meant to fit a climate goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and that the target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a group that checks whether company climate targets are based on climate science. This is one of the clearest hard targets in the material.

Expanded ESG advisory services

KPMG offers ESG and sustainability services across strategy, reporting, assurance, tax, deals, and climate risk. Its pages say it helps clients measure carbon footprints, build greenhouse gas inventories, assess climate-related financial risks, improve ESG data, and prepare sustainability reports. It also says it supports renewable energy, human rights, sustainable finance, impact measurement, and sustainable supply chains. These are service offerings, but they still count as actions because they show what KPMG is already doing in the sustainability space.

Reported community donations

KPMG Finland says it supported selected charities in 2025 and focused on the wellbeing of children and young people as well as the environment. It listed donations to groups including the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, WWF’s natural disaster fund, Save the Children Finland, and the John Nurminen Foundation. The firm said its total contributions for the financial year were 90,000 euros. This is a local example of social and environmental giving linked to its impact plan.

Reported tax footprint data

KPMG Finland said its tax footprint covered its subsidiaries in Finland and Estonia. For the 2025 financial year, it said the group paid and collected 113 million euros to governments, equal to 43% of turnover, and received no government subsidies or financial assistance. A tax footprint is the amount of tax and tax-like payments a company contributes through its operations. This kind of disclosure helps show the firm’s economic impact in a more concrete way.

Received workplace recognitions

KPMG Finland said it received the Hyvän mielen työpaikka® label, or Mental Health Friendly Workplace label, from MIELI Mental Health Finland. It also said KPMG Estonia received the Family-Friendly Employer Label at silver level from Estonia’s Ministry of Social Affairs. These recognitions are not broad sustainability certifications, but they do show attention to employee wellbeing, mental health, and work-life balance as part of the firm’s social responsibility work.
