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.

“Sustainability has gone from an optional corporate social responsibility item to being the number one strategic priority for organisations globally.”
‘Achieving Ireland’s Climate Action Plan target of 80% Renewable Electricity by 2030 will involve one of the most significant levels of public and private capital investment into a single sector in the history of the State.’
"There is no room for delay in relation to climate – we need action today"
"We are moving from corporate commitments on ESG to corporate actions on ESG and KPMG are best placed to partner with its clients to deliver on that action."
"Sustainability reporting is not the end goal - it’s the first step in a long-term transformation that will significantly improve the longevity and value of your business."
‘I’m passionate about improving climate resilience, supporting our clients as they navigate the complexities of climate risk and financing of the green transition.’
"Climate change and the loss of nature and biodiversity are inextricably linked. Neither can be solved in isolation. We’re privileged to be working with the public and private sectors to drive the transition to a net zero AND nature positive economy."
"The successful adoption and integration of renewable energy technologies will be integral to delivering on local and global climate goals."
"I aim to support science-based decision-making for climate action that employs the most up-to-date and robust scientific data and analyses."
"Onshore wind and solar are a cornerstone of Ireland’s energy strategy, delivering substantial renewable electricity, cutting fossil fuel dependence, and advancing national decarbonisation goals."

“It is important that we enhance resilience to climate change in order to protect people, economies, and ecosystems.”
"Many business leaders are seeing the relationship between long term success and sustainability. My role is to help find these relationships and grow them.”
