At the heart of KPMG’s values is a commitment to the community and the environment in which we operate, and the issues that affect it. That commitment is one of the enduring qualities of our people and our brand. It’s a core part of our Employer of Choice Strategy.
Throughout the KPMG network of member firms, people are getting involved in hundreds of citizenship projects around the world, and all member firms are developing initiatives to suit their local communities and environments. Here in Malta, our people are involved in various activities involving the local community throughout the year. Apart from the frequent monetary donations that both the firm and staff contribute, the firm provides advisory and audit pro-bono work to several charitable/cultural organisations, including the Malta Community Chest Fund.
In 2009 our people were involved in 15 corporate citizenship initiatives which required over 250 man-days of effort. In all, 13 institutions benefited from these initiatives, which included the involvement of some 50 staff members in the latest L-Istrina activities, refurbishment work in a children’s home, and the supply of about 200 gift boxes distributed to various homes for children over the Christmas period.
