About KPMG In Malaysia’s Sustainability & Transformation Department

KPMG in Malaysia’s Sustainability & Transformation (S&T) practice helps organizations navigate the rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) landscape. We support clients in embedding sustainability at the core of their business strategies.


Our S&T team works with companies across industries to develop ESG roadmaps, strengthen carbon and climate governance, enhance transparency, and accelerate decarbonization. We help clients identify areas of strategic advantage, manage climate risks, elevate sustainability performance, and build the trust of stakeholders through credible reporting and environmental stewardship.


Joining our team means contributing to meaningful, high‑impact work that shapes a more resilient, low‑carbon, and sustainable future for Malaysia and beyond.


Why this Opportunity Stands Out?

  • High-impact work: Shape national and corporate climate actions, decarbonization strategies, and sustainability governance.
  • C-suite and Board exposure: Engage directly with top leadership on material sustainability issues.
  • Fast-growing practice: Join one of KPMG’s highest-growth advisory areas with strong career progression pathways.
  • Purpose-driven impact: Play a role in shaping Malaysia’s transition to a low-carbon and sustainable economy.
  • Technical depth & variety: Work across GHG accounting, ESG reporting, environmental management systems, safety performance, and stakeholder engagement.


What can you expect?

As part of the engagement team at S&T, you will be involved in client engagements, guide technical delivery, and contribute to the firm’s ESG growth agenda. You will work with the team, sustainability leaders, C-suites, and Board members—to design and execute climate strategies and decarbonization initiatives.

Business Development (for Manager)

Your role will directly influence corporate decision‑making, climate resilience, and sustainable value creation.
