As stakeholders demand more environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts, regulations tighten and consumers increasingly expect brands to take action, organizations must now demonstrate that they are purposeful about sustainability, hold strong ethical standards and operate responsibly in everything they do.
Increasingly, companies and brands are turning to their partners—and to technology and innovation. We help organizations embed sustainability into their businesses to create new sources of value and deliver on their values. Our dedicated teams bring deep experience and industry expertise to develop and implement strategies, operating models, processes, and technologies to help businesses achieve their sustainability goals.
Now is the time for collaboration, for business to partner with government and society to reimagine, rebuild and transform our global economy into one that benefits all stakeholders.
"Today’s rapid acceleration to digital presents us with a breakthrough opportunity to create a more sustainable future."
— Julie Sweet, Chief Executive Officer
Rising to the challenge
Our suite of six services has been specifically designed to help our clients tackle their greatest sustainability challenges as a source of competitive advantage and impact.
1. Net zero industry transitions
Net zero carbon targets are no longer optional. The challenge is making them real and visible. Accenture can rapidly activate achievable progress towards those goals. We unleash the potential of digitization to transform business models for the better.
2. Sustainable IT and technologies
Digital technology is a true enabler of sustainability but its energy consumption footprint is vast. Accenture is addressing a twofold imperative: to use technology more sustainably, and to use technology as a vehicle for being more sustainable.
3. Responsible, circular value chains
If we want to make an impact on the sustainability agenda, we need to rotate to responsible and circular value and supply chains. Accenture designs for impact by embedding sustainability into every phase to deliver trusted, net zero and circular value chains.
4. Sustainable measurement
What an organization measures shapes what it does. Accenture provides the tools, technology, and methodologies to help businesses create the sustainability ledger alongside the financial ledger, from CEO and CFO dashboards to operational decisions.
5. Leadership development, talent & organization
Committing to sustainability is not just about one-off actions. It is about creating the mechanisms and cultures that bake sustainability into everything an organization does. Accenture uses the latest insights in organization design to transform the way people work with lasting impact.
6. Sustainable consumer experiences
Today, consumers demand sustainability. This is not about lip service. It is about refusing to compromise. Accenture combines deep insight and experience with technology to help clients deliver consumer experiences that don’t compromise.
