Message from our Chief Executive Officer

We take great pride in the fact that only two years after becoming Accenture, we were ranked No. 53 among the world’s top global brands with a brand value of more than US$5 billion—and that today we have a brand value of US$8 billion.

As a company, we have seen much change over the past 10 years. For example:

• We have more than tripled our workforce—from 75,000 employees in 2001 to more than 246,000 people today.
  
  
• We have transformed our operating structure—from a group of locally owned independent partnerships or other entities in 2001 to a public company with net revenues of US$25.5 billion today.
  
  
• We have expanded our presence in our priority emerging markets.

It is also important to note what has not changed at Accenture, namely our commitments to providing exceptional client service; to practicing our Code of Business Ethics; and to living our core values: Client Value Creation, One Global Network, Respect for the Individual, Best People, Integrity and Stewardship.

Looking ahead, we are focused on accelerating the execution of our growth strategy while continuing to build on the strength of our brand—in helping our clients achieve high performance and in bringing positive change to the communities in which we work and live. I am incredibly excited about this journey and truly believe the best of Accenture is yet to come.
