Pride

Within KPMG, we have a large rainbow community, and we are proud of it. KPMG Pride was established in 2017 and is an active board that, together with a dedicated group of colleagues – the Rainbow Squad – works to create a pleasant and safe working environment for all LGBTQ+ individuals. 

Did you know...

  • We balance both fun and serious matters? We organize social gatherings and also contribute to inclusive policies.
  • We have interesting external speakers at our informative events. Previously we’ve welcomed the Lesbische Liga, Remco Boxelaar (Corporate Queer), Tom van den Nieuwenhuijzen, (former politician (GroenLinks), former councilor for the municipality of Eindhoven and currently director at Capgemini), Elie Lust, and Jojanneke van der Toorn (professor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Workplace Inclusion at Leiden University) at our events.
  • We conduct the Workplace Pride Global Benchmark every year to explore how we can further improve for our target audience?
  • You can always turn to KPMG Pride if you have a good idea or if you are facing challenges or discrimination in the workplace? We have a direct line to the board and can truly make an impact.
  • Our offices raise the rainbow flag on special occasions such as Coming Out Day, IDAHOBIT, and local pride days and weeks? It is important for us to outwardly demonstrate our full support.
  • We have a buddy-program in place that junior staff can sign-up for. As part of the program, you are matched with a more experienced LGBTQI+ professional. With them you can discuss career progress, our LGBTQI+ inclusive culture, personal branding and visibility, and much more.
  • We don’t focus on LGBTQI+ inclusion within KPMG only, we have hosted several events at which we welcomed people from all different kind of companies to stress the importance of LGBTQI+ inclusion in the workplace. 

Come as you are

The beauty of the KPMG Pride community is that everyone is welcome. In our network, you will meet people from all levels, departments, and locations within the organization. Our doors are always open to colleagues who do not identify as LGBTQ+. We offer workshops such as ‘How to become an ally’ to promote acceptance and awareness. In short, we are here for all KPMG employees who want to meet people, be themselves, and learn from each other.
