We are very pleased to present the fifth edition of the KPMG in Brazil Sustainability Report. In it we report to our stakeholders on the social, environmental and economic performance of the 26 offices making up the network of independent firms operating under the KPMG brand in Brazil.
This year's edition brings two major changes: the first is our transition from GRI G3 to G4, placing a yet greater focus of aspects that are material to KPMG and our stakeholders; the second is that we have begun transitioning to the Integrated Reporting framework proposed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), with our first exercise of disclosing information using the Six Capitals (Human, Intellectual, Financial, Natural, Manufactured and Social and Relationship) approach.
Because of these two changes, we have decided to report this year ‘in accordance’ with the ‘Core’ option under GRI G4 and to continue to progress throughout the following editions.
As in previous years, the information here has been provided by the various functions managing activities relating to the performance indicators presented. It also draws on interviews with KPMG professionals to include strategic insights from our leadership.
This Report is for the financial year of KPMG in Brazil, from 01 October 2013 to 30 September 2014. For simplicity, our financial year is referred to as year 2014.
The financial information contained in this Report has been prepared in accordance with Brazilian generally accepted accounting principles, within the same scope and boundaries, and using the same measurement basis as in previous editions. Independent assurance has been provided by BSD Consulting, a firm validated by our Sustainability area and by senior management.
To provide the context surrounding some of the information presented, we may include information on KPMG International, the methodology and basis used, or the specific periods to which the information refers (for example, indicators reported for calendar years).
We hope you find this report informative.
