KPMG Isle of Man is one of the leading professional services firms with over 100 employees and 7 partners delivering audit, tax and advisory services to clients worldwide.

As part of the Global Climate Response, KPMG have an international environmental programme which includes a global renewable energy target of 60% of purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2020. In the Isle of Man office, a number of steps have been put in place in a bid to recycle and reduce waste. Single-use cups have been replaced with reusable alternatives for staff; office stationary is reused and printers are set as default to print double-sided, to name a few examples.

Taking responsibility for a sustainable future is of central concern to KPMG. The Isle of Man firm supports the global KPMG IMPACT initiative; a global cross-sector initiative that integrates knowledge and experience regarding global issues such as environmental, social, governance (ESG) performance and sustainability, economic and social development, climate change and decarbonisation, and sustainable finance. The goal is to unite the best of KPMG to help clients fulfil their purpose and deliver against their ESG goals.

Partners at KPMG in the Isle of Man provide free Manx National Heritage passes to staff each year, encouraging employees to visit local sites and support cultural and heritage events.

The Global Climate Response means KPMG have an international environmental programme to reduce CO2 emission of each employee to 10% by 2020. KPMG have invested in Microsoft Teams for business to encourage less commuting and business travel. For global conferences, KPMG now try and send just one Partner or where possible, if recorded, do not attend at all. Microsoft Teams has also increased the opportunity for staff to work from home, meaning less cars are joining the daily commute to the office.

Further steps are being taken to become a carbon neutral office, such as reducing server capacity and migrating towards a paperless office. The KPMG IMPACT initiative also focuses on climate change and decarbonisation, with a goal to drive business models, products and services that address climate change and help clients reduce carbon emissions.

Commitment to the Manx community is at the heart of the company’s values. Each year, staff are invited to vote for their chosen Manx charity, which is supported for the next 12 months through fundraising activities and events, including an annual fundraiser event, the KPMG Prom Relay. This popular event always attracts a large crowd and serves as a successful social event for the local community.

The firm has been a long-standing supporter of Junior Achievement (JA) Isle of Man, with a KPMG Partner sitting on the JA board. There is staff involvement in the school outreach programmes. KPMG have also been involved in the Extraordinary Islanders campaign, an enormous celebration of some amazing people in the Manx community, and sponsored the ‘Outstanding contribution to the community’ category.
