Corporate Social Responsibility
At KPMG we’re very proud of our contribution to our community; both on a local and national level and recognition for our projects is growing. We’ve won 14 major national and international awards in the last 10 years, half of which were won in the last 12 months alone. This year, we are again ranked in the Business in the Community Corporate Responsibility Index for the third year running.

In 2003 more of our people volunteered more time towards charitable and community activities than ever before, with over 2300 participating during work time – more than 25 percent of our people.

Schools and Youth Organisations
We help to support literacy and numeracy programmes through mentoring, financial advice and leadership programmes for Head Teachers.

The Homeless
Our Ready to Go programme, run in association with Business Action on Homelessness, helps ex-homeless people with their CV’s and interview technique.

Charitable Giving
750 charities benefited from KPMG donations in 2003. Whilst payroll giving raised £50,000 to national staff charity I CAN, helping children with speech and learning difficulties.

KPMG Foundation
This embraces a wide variety of educational and social projects aimed for the underprivileged. These range from helping young offenders after their release to providing bursaries for dyslexic children. The fund now totals £10 million.

The Environment
In 2003 we purchased more than 90 percent of our electricity from renewable energy sources. Our headquarters in Salisbury Square has the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management, which we aim to extend to other buildings.

In the words of John Griffith-Jones, our Senior Partner, “There is a strong and overwhelming moral case for Corporate Social Responsibility: not only to benefit our local communities, but also in attracting and retaining the best people. ”

"I was one of six winners of a competition the firm ran to design an environmental idea. In return for implementing my recycling initiative I got to go on a two week shark-research trip to Madagascar, a trip of a life time."
