Corporate Citizenship in ANZ
This is the decade for change. By combining human ingenuity with ground-breaking technologies, we innovate for a more equal and inclusive society.
Innovating for social impact
Digital innovation and new technologies are changing everything—the way we work, how we live—and what the future will look like.
As a global leader, we have a responsibility to leverage technology for good, and also to understand, anticipate and manage the consequences of the technologies we bring to our clients, our people and our communities.
Together with our social impact partners and our clients, we are innovating to help people and communities around the world.

Cultivating a culture of responsible buying
We set high standards for the way we conduct business and require suppliers across all categories to adhere to our Supplier Standards of Conduct or make an equivalent commitment.
Through our Supplier Inclusion & Sustainability Program, we create long-term value for our clients and keep our business agile by promoting inclusive, ethical and sustainable procurement practices.
We work with our suppliers and the wider ecosystem to advance key priorities—including environmental sustainability, human rights, inclusion, diversity and social innovation.
As a member of both Supply Nation and WeConnect International we have a direct business-to-business purchasing link with indigenous-owned and women-owned businesses, respectively, to identify and engage with diverse supplier capability and ownership.
We also seek to leverage Accenture’s global affiliate memberships to increase our exposure to diverse suppliers and responsible best practices.

Focusing on the environment
An important part of leadership in being a responsible business is taking strong climate action at Accenture. We follow the same advice for reducing our global footprint that we give our clients and suppliers.
Our commitment to responsible business is brought to life through our forward-looking, publicly stated measurable net-zero+ goals and our work toward our science-based targets.
We’ve achieved ISO® 14001 Environmental Management System-certification in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra—and we’re setting our sights on doing more.
From smart meters to renewable energy, we continue to assess and reduce our environmental impact at locations across Australia and New Zealand.
