KPMG PH Impact Plan

Operating in a dynamic business environment characterized by rapid change, innovation and uncertainty can be quite challenging. That is why it is important for businesses to be anchored by their purpose and be guided by their values. In our firm, our purpose is clear – To Inspire Confidence, Empower Change – and we do this by abiding by our values of Integrity, Excellence, Courage, Together, and For Better. ​ ​

To ensure that we make a positive impact to our people, clients, communities, and stakeholders, we committed to enact positive change across the four pillars of Planet, People, Prosperity and Governance. In our 2023 Impact Plan update, we detail our environmental, social and governance efforts under these four Pillars, highlighting what we have done so far to operationalize our commitments and embed our values into our culture. Additionally, we have critically assessed where we are in shaping a better future through our continuous improvement in our systems, policies, and procedures to harness our capabilities of addressing evolving challenges to bring about enduring, impactful change and contribute to sustainable development at the local and global scales.​

In the pages ahead, you will see that our pillars provide a framework for sharing our progress. ​

As a glimpse of our efforts over the past years, we have achieved significant milestones in each of our four priority areas. Our recent certification as a Great Place to Work and our recognition as one of the Philippines’ Best Employers echo the progress we’ve made in promoting inclusivity, supporting our employees and championing ESG principles. These are just a few examples of the actions we are taking to fulfill our responsibility. We have implemented environmental initiatives such as waste segregation programs, operational waste reduction, and energy-efficient measures in our offices. We have also continued to give back to the local communities through scholarships, donations and volunteering activities. By embedding ESG considerations at the core of our operations, we envision a carbon neutral, trustworthy and responsible organization that prioritizes the planet and society as a whole.​

Naturally, we recognize there is more work to be done to meet the expectations and needs of our stakeholders. With this, we remain committed to being transparent about our progress. Our aim is for our team, clients and everyone who relies on us to have a clear understanding of where we stand now and where we are headed.​

The synergy within our firm reinforces my confidence that, through our combined efforts and a united commitment to excellence, we can achieve and even surpass our goals. With every individual playing a crucial role, our combined efforts become the driving force propelling us towards success and sustained impact.​

Guided by our Impact Plan, we remain committed to our collaborative efforts and prioritizing what truly matters, together.​
