Corporate Citizenship 

We will build and sustain our reputation as the best firm to work with by ensuring that our people, our clients and our communities achieve their potential.

Commitment to our communities is one of our core values. We believe that a genuine commitment to Corporate Citizenship has benefits to society; it unites our people, strengthens our reputation and keeps integrity at the centre of what we do.

Charter and Philosophy

Our values determine how we behave – with clients, with our community and with each other. We live up to our values and demonstrate this by acting as responsible corporate citizens and broadening our skills, experience and perspectives through work in our communities.





Besides being active in philanthropy and volunteering, we focus on four key environments:



United Nations Global Compact

KPMG has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact, a principles-based initiative that aims to influence the creation of a more sustainable and inclusive global economy. It is the world's largest global Corporate Citizenship initiative and its purpose is to demonstrate and build the social legitimacy of business and markets. Participation in the Global Compact is a way of demonstrating our commitment to advancing the business agenda as an active corporate citizen. KPMG’s purpose is to turn knowledge into value for the benefits of our clients, people and the capital markets. By behaving responsibly we can create another kind of value — trust and social capital — and contribute to broad based development and the creation of sustainable markets.

The Global Compact's ten principles resonate highly with the KPMG Values, which define our culture and commitment to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. Find out more about our involvement in Global Compact by reading our Communication on Progress (COP) report. In Singapore, we have a gold membership with Singapore Compact.
