KPMG

KPMG in the UK is a leading provider of professional services including audit, tax, financial and risk advisory. KPMG in the UK has over 10,000 partners and staff working in 22 offices and is part of a strong global network of members firms. As part of KPMG Europe we have merged with our German and Swiss firms. This makes us the largest integrated accounting firm in Europe.

Our vision is simply stated to turn knowledge into value for the benefit of our clients, our people and our capital markets. Each of these areas we take very seriously. The quality of our advice and independence with which we offer it is greatly valued in the investor and business community.

Our values and the principles on which we work are widely respected and lead to our people working in an environment where they can learn and develop whatever their particular backgrounds, skills or ambitions. This helps to underpin our diversity.

At the same time we are committed to putting back some of what we gain into the communities in which we work and for more than 12 years, KPMG in the UK has built a vibrant, far reaching and coordinated programme of Corporate Social Responsibility.

KPMG has some 4,500 people working in London . It is vital that they feel safe on their way to and from work and as they travel around London . It seemed to us that the Safer London Foundation could make a real difference to combating crime and the fear of crime and this would benefit all our people wherever they lived in London . What particularly appealed about the Safer London Foundation is that it would be working alongside the new Safer Neighbourhood Police teams at street level helping communities to help themselves and thereby preventing crime occurring in the first place. An aspect of this that particularly appealed was the engagement of young people who might otherwise become offenders in more constructive pursuits. This fits exactly with the overall objectives of KPMG's community programmes.
