Descriptions

About KPMG In Malaysia’s Sustainability Transformation Department KPMG in Malaysia’s Sustainability Transformation practice helps organizations navigate the rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) landscape. We support clients in embedding sustainability at the core of their business strategies. Our Sustainability Transformation team works with companies across industries to develop ESG roadmaps, strengthen carbon and climate governance, enhance transparency, and accelerate decarbonization.
