Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as defined by the European Commission, is “a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis.”

It involves creating innovative and proactive solutions to societal and environmental challenges, as well as collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to improve CSR performance.

KPMG’s CSR initiatives are grouped into six categories:

At KPMG we believe corporate social responsibility (CSR) is at the heart of all great organisations, and we are committed to making a real difference to the communities in which we operate. All organisations have responsibilities to their people, their clients and society. We believe a real commitment to CSR unites an organisation, strengthens its reputation and creates vital links with the communities in which it operates. We want our employees to be part of this effort and actively get involved in CSR activities that will ultimately make a real positive impact on society.
