The goals of sustainability link a company, its profits and the environment and community in which it operates.
As part of a truly global industry, aerospace and defense companies are uniquely positioned to take steps that will not only substantially impact their local environments and communities but also their bottom lines. Today, the aerospace industry contributes two to three percent of the total manmade emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere each year. Aerospace and defense companies deal with hazardous materials and must track them for both environmental and national security reasons. In both cases, sustainable business practices can not only address environmental concerns but can also contribute to high performance.
With fuel a substantial and growing component of the operational cost for air, ground and sea vehicles, manufacturers that offer their customers products and services that can mitigate or reduce those costs stand to gain significant traffic in the marketplace. Simultaneously, the positive public perception of their products and services may increase not only their image, but also that of the customers that operate their products.
Accenture's global reach, transformational capabilities and specialized industry knowledge uniquely position us to help an organization develop and pursue a sustainability program. In addition to our deep industry and internal sustainability capabilities, we also work closely with sustainability organizations to provide deep specialty skills as needed.
We also take advantage of our relationship with Accenture Development Partnership (a not-for-profit group that makes high-quality consulting services available at greatly reduced costs to organizations working with developing economies) to drive social and environmental improvement around the world. In addition, we work with leading universities to bring leading sustainability research to our practice.
We offer sustainability services across the entire life of a program.
