KPMG Launches Multi-Year Program to Accelerate Global ESG Solutions

These collaborations aim to build a robust learning framework and deliver sustainability training to KPMG’s 227,000 employees, empowering them to drive ESG change effectively.

Strategic Collaborations and Alliances

Understanding that ESG challenges require collective action, KPMG is expanding its partnerships with organizations such as UNESCO, Enactus, and the Global Reporting Initiative. Additionally, alliances with technology leaders like Google Cloud, Microsoft, Salesforce, and ServiceNow will enable the creation of innovative tools and solutions that provide critical data insights, helping clients navigate their ESG journeys and implement necessary changes.
