As ESG issues increasingly shape market dynamics, stakeholders demand transparent and accountable practices from companies.
Integrating ESG factors into audits not only mitigates risks but also enhances value creation, aligning businesses with long-term sustainability goals. Our Teams provide Clients with services that go beyond pure auditing encompassing nature & climate, decarbonization and reporting advisory. By providing insights on sustainability and helping clients incorporating it and reporting on it, our audit ESG Teams play a crucial role in fostering trust and facilitating informed decision-making for a greener future.
Companies face varying ESG reporting requirements in different global jurisdictions, with a series of regulatory initiatives being implemented in the European Union. ESG does not stop at improving their business practices but also includes the practices of the supply chain ecosystem. In fact, on average, the supply chain is responsible for 60-90% of the companies' impact.
A solid ESG strategy encompasses the whole supply chain. We help our clients optimize transparency and reliability within a variety of sources and multiple levels of data. Our services help companies comply with legislation while at the same time creating business value.

The importance of transparency in Switzerland is increasing, driven by regulatory compliance, investor pressuring requests, and consumers demands. Companies face challenges in data collection across complex supply chains. Our integrated approach assists in gathering and presenting data effectively, utilizing specialized ESG technology and expertise in reporting, analysis, and compliance.
Our integrated approach
The pressure to improve the transparency of supply chains also offers opportunities and we are driven by passion in helping Clients reap those benefits. By leveraging the right data and implementing new technological solutions, we can jointly gain more comprehensive and in-depth information that enables better decision-making.
Didier Boekraad

Navigating the ESG landscape is like exploring a global treasure map with ever-shifting coordinates. Companies, faced with a myriad of regulatory hurdles, must chart a course that encompasses not just their practices, but the entire supply chain ecosystem. It's a journey where transparency is the compass, legislation the guiding star, and innovation and tech are the wind in our sails. With our approach, we're not just helping companies meet compliance; we're unlocking the hidden gems of value buried within their data, transforming challenges into opportunities, and turning complexity into clarity.

Corina Wipfler
Partner Financial Services
Social expectations have changed, and public interest is raising questions around trust in firms. This trend is further amplified by the rise of ESG. Regulators, investors, employees, suppliers and many other stakeholders increasingly expect firms to improve their sustainability management, resulting in a plethora of competing demands that are difficult to reconcile. Growing concern about “greenwashing” and related legal action has raised the stakes for firms who “get it wrong”. This is where KPMG’s FS Climate & Sustainability Team comes into play, helping our clients to navigate these challenges and achieve their sustainability ambitions.
Thru the pursuit of sustainability and the assumption of social responsibility the demands placed on companies' management and monitoring tasks are also evolving.
Our ESG & Governance team supports our clients in the contemporary and effective design, structuring and implementation of the organization as well as in the management and supervision of the company. This includes the drafting of articles of association, regulations, directives and other guidelines. A particular focus is on corporate social responsibility and the associated ESG issues, including advice on the corresponding reporting and due diligence obligations.
