  Accenture in Australia is continually reviewing and improving our Corporate Citizenship programs to ensure that we are acting as a good corporate citizen and making a difference to the communities we live and work with as well as reducing our impact on the environment.
In 2007 we completed the community module of the Corporate Responsibility Index to provide us with feedback and guidance on our performance and to clearly identify areas of improvement.  View Our Corporate Citizenship Review 2007: Helping global communities achieve high performance [PDF, 2.5MB]
