PARTNERSHIP
STORIES
For several years, KPMG has chosen
a special area of focus as part of our
national community strategy and we
have partnered with organisations that
are doing great work to help unleash the
potential of our young people and support
the objectives of Lifelong Learning. In the
following pages, we share some of our
work with these community partners, as
well as other special organisations that
are helping fuel prosperity for their local
communities and New Zealand.Corporate Citizenship Report 2018 | 16

Springboard Trust
Developing New Zealand’s school leaders
Springboard Trust impacts New Zealand schools through developing the
leadership capability of school principals across New Zealand; and KPMG
is proud to be part of the journey.
Together, Springboard Trust and KPMG, along with other leading corporate
and global philanthropic partners are dramatically improving the life skills –
and therefore the lives – of young New Zealanders by helping principals build
their leadership and strategic planning skills, supporting better educational
outcomes for schools and their students.
Since becoming involved with Springboard Trust in 2016, KPMG has had over 20
of our senior people working alongside principals as part of the Trust’s Strategic
Leadership for Principals Programme (SLPP), acting as a coach to school leaders
to create and implement more effective strategic plans for their schools. In 2017
we reached 14 principals and more than 5,300 students in Northland, Auckland
and Wellington attending these schools, who can now look forward to more
inspired leadership and improved educational strategies and outcomes.
This year, we have 12 senior people in capacity partner roles and three of our
experienced capacity partners have moved into facilitation roles and now lead
their local SLPP workshops. As well as providing support to individual principals,
KPMG has worked with Springboard Trust to provide additional support, as they
strive to increase their impact across a wider range of schools. This has included
providing learning sessions across the country, the annual audit, help developing
their IT systems and providing venues and facilities for workshops.
“Springboard provides KPMG with a great opportunity to use our skills and
experience to make a meaningful difference to the future outcomes of New
Zealand youth,” says KPMG Partner David King. “As well as the involvement
being incredibly satisfying and the opportunity to hone our own coaching and
leadership styles, we have all learned a huge amount about the great work
and also the enormous challenges that educational leaders face every day.”

The ‘Big Hoot’
Owls flock to Auckland for a good cause
KPMG was a proud sponsor of the 2018 Haier Big Hoot, raising funds for the
Child Cancer Foundation.
The event saw 47 owl sculptures designed by renowned artists, and 60
‘owlets’ designed by school children (including one by our partner school,
Edmund Hillary School), form a community art trail across Auckland. Curated
in partnership with Wild in Art, the event attracted artists from all corners of
our community; from the likes of high profile artists to emerging creatives and
community champions.
KPMG sponsored our very own owl, Full Moon Ruru, designed by artists Bernie
Harfleet and Donna Turtle Sarten, which took pride of place opposite the KPMG
offices in Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland. Bernie and Donna are particularly
acclaimed for their active efforts to highlight community issues through their
art, and so we were especially delighted to be partnered with them. Full Moon
Ruru was inspired by the forests of the Waitakere Ranges, where owl’s calls
can be heard through the night.
Throughout the duration of the trail, KPMG ran a series of fundraising events
including a lively 'creatures of the night' themed quiz night and fun runs
and walks to get out and see the owls in their temporary habitats, which
culminated in a $3,000 donation directly to the Child Cancer Foundation thanks
to the generosity of our people.
At the conclusion of the trail, the large owls were auctioned off, raising an
impressive total of $383,000 for the Child Cancer Foundation. With winning
bids ranging from $3,750 to $17,000, KPMG’s owl sculpture, Full Moon Ruru,
was sold under the hammer for $7,250.
The funds raised went towards helping the Child Cancer Foundation continue
their mission to provide strength and comfort to families, parents and children
impacted by child cancer.Corporate Citizenship Report 2018 | 24

This year KPMG hosted 11 students from AUT and several Auckland secondary schools, pairing them with six of our leaders across the firm to showcase what it’s like to work at KPMG. Fatima Imran, a Year 13 student from Mount Albert Grammar School, shadowed KPMG Associate Director Julia Jones, spending time at NZX talking with Nick Morris the Head of Derivatives discussing the progression of the milk futures market. The pair also spent time with KPMG’s Andrew Watene talking through value chains in the red meat industry with KPMG clients. The goal for the day was to show the diversity and global capability of roles available in the Food and Fibre industry. “Shadow a Leader was one of the best experiences that I have had so far that relates with my passion for the industry,” said Fatima. “It is going to be a memory that will just pump me up with passion whenever I recount of it. I already looked up to KPMG before Shadow a Leader, but after this event my drive to make New Zealand a better place has increased even further.” The feeling was mutual with Julia. “It was such an enriching experience, one that I would whole heartedly welcome again. I learned so much from Fatima and her energy and desire to learn and grow inspired me to do the same!”

Invictus Games
Helping New Zealand bring back gold
The fourth Invictus Games got underway in Sydney in
late October 2018, and we were proud to continue our
sponsorship of ex-solider Nu Filo (Faamanu Filo Leaana)
in his pursuit of gold. Through the Auckland RSA and our
close relationship with the New Zealand Defence Force
(NZDF), KPMG has had the unique opportunity to support
Nu in 2017 and 2018.
The Invictus Games is a prominent event on the global
sports calendar, growing in popularity each year. Invictus
means unconquered, unsubdued and invincible and it
demonstrates soldiers’ and veterans’ indefatigable drive
to overcome and use the power of sport to help them on
their journey to recovery.
KPMG Partner, Grant Riley travelled to Sydney to support
Nu and the rest of the NZ team during the games. Grant
also attended a presentation event at Trentham Military
Camp and was on hand to help present the departing
athletes with their Invictus rings.
The Sydney games attracted 500 competitors from across
the globe, and over 1,000 accompanying family and
friends to help cheer them on.
Grant had this to report about the event and the team’s
achievements during the games:
“I was lucky enough to be there to support Nu and the
New Zealand team, and importantly see Nu in action.
It was an inspiring experience for me being able to see
Nu compete and being at the games also highlighted for
me the importance of Invictus in supporting the recovery
and rehabilitation of veterans who have been injured
physically and mentally while serving their countries”.
Nu competed in multiple events this year which involved
a gruelling schedule of rowing, powerlifting, shotput and
discus. Nu’s training focus had been on powerlifting and
rowing and despite not focusing on the throwing events,
Nu came fourth in the discus and won a bronze medal in
the shotput.
This was a fantastic result for Nu, as well as the wider
New Zealand team who finished strong in athletics
with fellow teammate Craig Wilson winning gold in
the Men’s 1500m.”

The new depot is a control hub for ambulance operations, as well as St John’s other community services and programmes. The refurbishment project had been going slowly for a number of years, until the local businesses pledged to raise the $2.5m that was needed. The St John Tauranga Building Project Charitable Trust was formed in 2014 by the businesses at the ANZ Business Centre (or 247 Cameron Road) including our local KPMG office, along with other accountants, lawyers, engineers, bankers and marketers. Each tenancy nominated a representative to sit on the trust, which then helped to raise $2.6m for the new depot, as well as facilitating funding, building plans and consents. They also pitched the project to Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust who contributed just over $2m. Glenn Keaney, KPMG Tauranga’s Office Managing Partner, headed the building committee, with Realty Group Chairman, Richard Cashmore, acknowledging Glenn’s tenacity and massive contribution to what turned out to be a far greater job than anticipated with a number of hooks and hurdles being put in the way of the building even starting. The project (at a cost of $4.5m) was expected to take up to two years, was completed after four years of dedicated hard work by all involved. Volunteers from the Tauranga KPMG office helped in the final stages of beautifying the grounds with wheelbarrowing soil and planting the gardens, providing the perfect finishing touches to a project well done.
