Increasing diversity through value adding partnerships

The student academy is hosted in collaboration with our main official partner KPMG. KPMG shares the mission of increasing diversity in top management with us and they describe themselves as “pioneers at heart”.

KPMG makes a positive impact on their clients and society by having the courage to be different and exploring new territories, working shoulder to shoulder with their clients. KPMG also makes a great effort when it comes to inclusion and diversity, both globally and locally with small KPMG communities focused on gender, LGBT+ and mental health, for instance.

The main goal of those initiatives is to ensure equality for all members of the KPMG network and the overall society.
