KPMG Mexico Cuts Emissions 29% Since 2019

KPMG Mexico just proved that doing good for the planet doesn't mean sacrificing business success. The consulting firm slashed its carbon emissions by 29% compared to 2019 levels while continuing to grow and serve thousands of clients across the country.

The achievement came through smart investments totaling over $200,000 in environmental projects during the fiscal year ending September 2025. These weren't just symbolic gestures but concrete changes to how the company operates daily.

Victor Esquivel, the firm's CEO, said eight decades of business in Mexico taught them an important lesson. "Prosperity is built holistically by balancing business results with social, environmental and governance impact," he explained.

The numbers tell an impressive story. KPMG Mexico also cut water consumption across its offices by 22% during the same period. That's millions of gallons saved in a country where water scarcity affects many communities.

Employees got personally involved too. Staff members volunteered 1,215 hours planting trees in forests near Guadalajara and Mexico City, bringing nature back to degraded areas that needed help.

The Ripple Effect

The company's commitment extends far beyond its own offices. KPMG Mexico invested over $740,000 in technology and innovation while running 16 social programs that helped 2,627 people across the country.

Andrea Brassel, who directs social responsibility at KPMG, emphasized that sustainability must show up in real actions. "Impact must translate into concrete decisions," she said, noting how the firm weaves environmental thinking into everyday operations.

The company's 3,283 employees received more than 19,000 hours of ethics and compliance training during 2025. This workforce, split nearly evenly between women and men, helped KPMG rank as the second-best large employer in Mexico and ninth-best company for women.

Programs like Semillero KPMG support workers with disabilities, while Talento en Acción promotes female leadership. Pride MX creates space for dialogue and inclusion across all employee backgrounds.

These results show what's possible when companies take sustainability seriously. KPMG Mexico didn't just talk about environmental responsibility but invested real money and employee time into making measurable progress while maintaining a thriving business that employs thousands of professionals.
