Mike Kelly, Director of CSR for KPMG LLP (U.K.), said: “We are committed to our communities with more than 25 percent of KPMG staff in the U.K. involved in local volunteering schemes. Last year our total community investment in the UK was £4.3 million and is set to increase this year. We have had a positive impact on over 170 schools in the U.K., we have avoided 10,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and have made more than 1000 charitable donations.”
