At KPMG we celebrate our differences and truly value an inclusive culture built on trust. Every day, we encourage our people to come as they are, bringing their whole selves to work to help drive positive change. Our Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Collective Action Plan is built on the solid foundation of our Purpose and Values and sets out the significant steps KPMG is taking to drive IDE across the global organization and within the communities we serve.
Our commitment
KPMG is committed to creating a safe and inclusive work environment that is free from harassment, intimidation, bullying, and discrimination. We know that in doing so, we will attract diverse talent that is representative of the world we live in and create an environment where all perspectives are encouraged as we solve challenging issues and lead the way forward.
