At KPMG in Romania & Moldova, we believe that sustainability makes companies more resilient, more efficient and more fit for growth. Our sustainability lens not only offers a novel framework for proactive resilience, compliance, risk management, innovation, and overall operational efficiency, it also helps drive financial value – across the enterprise and/or within a deal.

Strong sustainability performance provides access to lower cost of capital and will become a fundamental “right to compete” as credit providers increasingly include it in their credit assessment criteria over time.

Sustainability drives investments
Private equity and other asset managers are bound by their funds’ investment goals while consumer demand for sustainable products remains high and will continue to increase over time.

Sustainability drives bottom-line potential
Proactive sustainability measures can help avoid fines, streamline and accelerate the supply chain, increase energy efficiency and reduce employee turnover.

Sustainability has an impact on business resilience
Environmental, social and economic challenges are real and acknowledged by most relevant stakeholders – businesses must build resilience to adapt and recover from unexpected events or disruptions.

Circularity is a strategic response to resource challenges
With geopolitical pressures intensifying and supply chains facing structural shortages of key materials, adopting circular economy models becomes a pivotal lever for securing value and reducing risk.

ESG regulation remains significant
Despite the relaxation of some regulatory requirements and timelines, particularly through the EU Omnibus, companies still need to ensure compliance (or get ready to comply) and will naturally cascade requirements to their value chain partners.

Transparency brings value
Corporates that have already invested significantly in ESG capabilities will seek to protect those investments and leverage their enhanced transparency to drive performance and productivity, maintain and draw customers, and attract investors or potential buyers.

KPMG in Romania & Moldova’s dedicated sustainability subject matter experts and sectoral specialists help clients prioritize sustainability value-creation opportunities to uncover practical activities across the business and operating model. From access to capital and climate risk assessments to product design, pricing strategies, and supply chain improvements, our whole-of-business ESG approach helps you build long-term business value, enhance deal outcomes, protect revenues, and reinvest savings to drive greater efficiency.
