KPMG’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
KPMG’s mission is to foster a work environment
that is inclusive and embraces the diversity of our people,
their ideas and lifestyles, professional insights, and
personal perspectives.
DIVERSITY represents the myriad profiles
of the workforce that include
age/generation, sexual orientation, gender,
parental or family status, race/ethnicity,
tribal/indigenous origins, gender identity,
gender expression, disability, veteran
status, culture and religion.
Education, language skills, work style,
work experience, roles and responsibilities
are additional components of diversity.

INCLUSION means leveraging the richness
of diverse experiences, opportunities,
profiles, and backgrounds to maximize the
outcome for team and organizational
advantage.
Inclusion affirms that diversity is embraced in
such a way that all professionals are treated
fairly, can reach their full potential, and
allowed to bring their whole selves to work.
