Alignment to national and global frameworks and mandates
There is an increasing push for organisations to consider their sustainability risks and opportunities. As a result, sustainability mandates and agendas have been introduced both globally and regionally to encourage corporations to conduct their businesses responsibly and align their activities to these initiatives. At KPMG LG, we strive to deliver meaningful contributions to the national and international sustainability priorities, including the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030, Oman Vision 2040, United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We direct our efforts toward ensuring the sustainable development of a robust economy and a motivated society.
