KPMG International has won two prestigious 2015 International Accounting Bulletin (IAB) Awards, presented in London on 1 October. For the fourth consecutive year, it was awarded Sustainable Firm of the Year, and for a third consecutive year, Social Media Networking Champion of the Year Global.

In awarding Sustainable Firm of the Year, IAB said, that KPMG has impressed the judges with its commitment to push for sustainability internally and not just as an offering to clients, and added that the KPMG network continues to help clients improve their own environmental and social performance, not only through KPMG sustainability services, but also across all other lines.

In awarding Social Media Networking Champion of the Year Global, IAB pointed to KPMG’s WEFLIVE service, which for a fourth year captured in real-time the Twitter conversations from delegates attending the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland. IAB concluded that this along with other social media initiatives demonstrated the KPMG network’s global impact in social networking.
