      How we think and act 

      Our values are the basis for every action we take. They determine our daily behavior, guide our decisions, and shape our character. 
       

      As part of the global KPMG network, we act according to a common understanding of values. Our values of Integrity, Excellence, Courage, Together and For Better provide all KPMG partners and employees at every location worldwide with information about what they can expect from KPMG and what KPMG expects from them.

      In addition to our purpose, our values and our international code of conduct are valuable signposts for our daily work.

      • Integrity

        We are honest, fair and consistent in our words and decisions – both in and out of work. We take responsibility for our daily actions and always adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards.

      • Excellence

        We bring expertise to our customers, learn from each other in internal training courses, train young talents and write specialist literature. We are always striving to improve our work and face new challenges together.

      • Courage

        It is important to us to always break new ground and drive innovation. We encourage each other to step out of our comfort zones. If we have doubts, we ask questions and report events if we think they are wrong.

      • Together

        We do the best work when we do it together: in teams, across departments, or by collaborating with other experts outside our organization. It is the diversity of know-how and skills that makes us strong.

      • For Better

        We never lose sight of the impact our daily decisions have on the economy and society. As a #teamKPMG, our primary goal is to use our expertise to create sustainable confidence in the future.
