Summary:

KPMG, an accounting network, forced out its Chair in the UK after 30 years of service after he denounced unconscious bias seminars. It has also cut ties with golfer Phil Mickelson after making comments on the Saudi's human rights violations. KPMG scored a 100 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, KPMG increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. KPMG forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. KPMG provides a benefits package for employees which covers travel/lodging costs for an abortion and transgender medical procedures for covered employees and dependents, including children. The company is a signatory of the Gender & Diversity KPI Alliance and its US Chair and CEO signed Catalyst's Champions for Change pledge.

KPMG is part of Glasgow's Net Zero Alliance and a signatory of the Business Roundtable's 2019 Statement on the Purpose of Corporation, which promotes stakeholder capitalism.
