Corporate Social Responsibility

Charitable and Community Support

We believe that both KPMG and our staff have an immense role and opportunity to positively impact our surrounding communities. The hard work and education obtained by our staff members serves as a good example to the youth in our community and allows us to engage with numerous organisations in the wider community.
A number of our staff have been actively involved in different community and charity projects and KPMG in Luxembourg actively encourages our employees to get involved through different initiatives. As an example, every year our staff train together and then run in the Luxembourg city marathon. Each year more than 100 of our staff are involved which represents more than 10% of our workforce, not to mention those who are present to encourage their colleagues taking part in the event. In the marathon each staff member is running to support the Kriibskrank Kanner charity.
Our ongoing and long term support to charities and our communities has been reinforced with the set of the KPMG Luxembourg Foundation.

Environment

KPMG in Luxembourg is actively seeking ways to reduce our environmental impacts in line with the objectives of our KPMG Global Green Initiative, a global ambition to reduce KPMG’s footprint by 25% by 2010. Such initiatives include paper usage reduction, recycling, building and energy management, travel policies and a host of other actions.

Workplace and Marketplace

KPMG has a number of workplace initiatives that fit in with our CSR strategy to be a responsible employer:

• Fair and consistent recruitment process which exceeds “best practice”
• Extensive learning and development programme
• Comprehensive performance management system
• Staff views sought through employee survey
• Innovative work/life balance initiatives

KPMG is involved in a number of marketplace activities, which are outlined below:

• Active members of industry organisations and working groups such as ALFI, CSSF, CAA, IFBL, IRE…
• Code of ethics and independence
• Policy on corporate governance
• Client relationship assessments

At KPMG we believe corporate social responsibility 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.
