KPMG, the leader in audit and consultancy in France, and Sweep, the sustainability data management platform, have announced a key partnership, aiming to accelerate corporate climate and ESG strategies. By combining KPMG’s multi-disciplinary climate and ESG expertise with Sweep’s innovative technology, the partnership will help companies to integrate sustainable performance into the heart of their business models at a time of climate crisis.

A partnership built on synergy and innovation

The Sweep - KPMG partnership builds a bridge between auditing and consulting expertise, and cutting-edge digital sustainability data solutions. KPMG brings its renowned experience in supporting businesses as they navigate through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) challenges - notably via its ESG Centre of Excellence, which numbers 120 experts in the domain.

The partnership will tackle numerous challenges raised by the need for businesses to take action today in order to transform themselves for a low-carbon economy of the future. Our joint aim is to facilitate the transformation of business models so that they fully integrate extra-financial data into their overall performance, in alignment with carbon emissions reductions.
