The climate change & sustainability agenda has finally reached a tipping point. No longer is it considered a corporate social responsibility topic, but rather a strategic commercial issue for Irish businesses.
Social, regulatory and investor pressures mean Irish business will need to respond to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics to stay relevant and drive long-term shareholder value.
KPMG Sustainable Futures is a dedicated cross-functional team of experts who help corporates and public sector clients plan and execute programmes addressing ESG topics, decarbonisation, and long-term value creation.
At KPMG, we believe that organisations that rise to these challenges and show leadership will be rewarded by their stakeholders and gain access to new opportunities. Those businesses that fail to act may put their margins and even business models at risk.
Whether your organisation is just beginning its sustainability journey, reporting on its progress, or financing new initiatives, we have the knowledge and the people to support you.
