Sparklo and KPMG in Qatar celebrate sustainability milestone

Since partnering in late 2023, KPMG in Qatar employees have collected nearly 9,000 plastic bottles and aluminium cans, saving over 1,300 kg of CO2 emissions. Each week, KPMG employees collect, on average, around 300 bottles and cans, and the numbers are growing. This partnership showcases the enthusiasm and commitment of KPMG employees towards sustainable practices and underscores the success of Sparklo’s innovative recycling solutions.

In late 2023, KPMG in Qatar partnered with Sparklo, a global leader in clean technology, to bolster its corporate sustainability efforts. Introducing Sparklomat, an advanced Reverse Vending Machine (RVM), to KPMG's Doha office marks a significant step in this journey.

The Sparklomat offers KPMG employees and visitors a simple and engaging way to recycle. It integrates seamlessly with the Sparklo mobile app to provide instant rewards for eco-friendly actions.

Integrating innovative solutions like Sparklomat enhances our sustainability efforts and inspires others to adopt eco-friendly practices. This initiative represents a significant step towards a greener future, and together, we are making a meaningful impact and setting a benchmark for corporate sustainability.” Huda Ibrahim, Head of Marketing and Communication, KPMG in Qatar.
