Activating our people
2018 Citizenship Report
Our people are our greatest asset
At KPMG, our people and their different perspectives enable us to make a tangible difference in all that we do. They help drive an inclusive culture and better position us to adapt, grow and thrive in a changing business environment.
We know that creating an inclusive culture requires more than a stated commitment. We must set clear strategies and create actions designed to attract, hire, and retain diverse talent. We must ensure they are upheld by everyone throughout the firm. And we must equip people with the tools, resources, and pathways to grow their careers responsibly while supporting each other – and our communities – through our individual journeys. Activating our people is an intrinsic part of who we are and the future we imagine – for our people and the communities, we are a part of.

Looking ahead
Talking Inclusion
We will continue to expand our efforts to raise awareness about how to better understand and appreciate our differences through a video series titled Talking Inclusion. Through the series, we will shine a spotlight on what are often difficult conversations about our experiences and assumptions – and create a forum for people to have constructive dialogue on inclusion.
