      Sustainability is part of who we are

      At KPMG, sustainability is not just a service we offer - it's a responsibility we embrace.

      As a purpose-led organisation, we are committed to embedding environmental and social responsibility into every aspect of our operations, culture, and decision-making.


      KPMG’s Sustainability Priorities

      Achieving net zero by 2030

      We are committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions across our global operations by 2030. This includes reducing direct and indirect emissions and working closely with our supply chain to minimise our overall footprint.

      Global Advocacy and Responsible Partnerships

      We align with global frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Science-Based Targets initiative. Through international collaboration, we advocate for scalable, science-backed solutions to environmental challenges.

      100% Renewable Energy Transition

      Our offices are progressively shifting to renewable energy, with a goal to fully transition by 2030. We continue to explore innovative ways to improve energy efficiency across all locations.

      Transparency and Impact Reporting

      We hold ourselves accountable through clear, comprehensive reporting. Our annual disclosures highlight progress, challenges, and learnings across our sustainability strategy.

      Sustainable Supply Chain Practices

      We work closely with suppliers to promote ESG-aligned practices, aiming to extend sustainability impact across our entire value chain.

      Empowering our people

      Our people are central to our sustainability journey. We support employee-led initiatives like tree planting, recycling, and green commuting, and provide training to inspire action at every level.


      Our climate commitments

      We are on a path to reduce our emissions by 50% by 2030, based on our 2019 baseline. This includes:

      • Procuring 100% renewable electricity across our offices
      • Applying an internal carbon price to air travel
      • Engaging suppliers to align with our decarbonisation goals

      Our Climate Action Plan 2022–2030 outlines how we’re holding ourselves accountable and supporting Australia’s transition to net zero.

      We believe in transparency. Through our annual Impact Plan and voluntary Climate Risk Report, we share our progress, challenges, and learnings openly. These reports reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and responsible leadership.

      We’re taking action to understand and reduce our impact on nature. Through the KPMG Nature Positive Challenge, we support startups and ventures restoring biodiversity. We also plant a tree for every employee each year and invest in high-integrity carbon credits.

      Sustainability is embedded in our technology choices. We prioritise cloud and data partners with science-based emissions targets and have powered our offsite data centres with renewable electricity since 2024.

      Our people are at the heart of our sustainability journey. From our Green Champions Network to sustainability training and volunteering, we empower our teams to lead change - at work and in their communities.
