360⁰ Value Integrated Reporting

Introduction from Julie Sweet

When you see value in every direction, you add lasting value in every direction.

Accenture's 360° Value
Integrated Reporting

All reporting in one place.
Measuring value in all directions.

Integrated reporting:
What and why

Integrated reporting is how we share progress toward our goals of creating, driving and measuring value for all of our stakeholders—clients, people, shareholders, partners and communities. We call this our
360° Value Integrated Reporting Experience, which demonstrates how we deliver unique value across six vital dimensions: Client, Talent, Inclusion & Diversity, Experience, Sustainability and Financial. As you explore the Accenture 360° Value Experience, you’ll discover how we apply these categories of value to how we operate our business.

Client

We help our clients—which include many of the world’s leading
companies and governments—navigate change, seize opportunities
and transform into thriving organizations.

We deliver 360° Value for our clients, which we define as delivering
the financial business case and unique value a client may be seeking,
along with striving to partner with our clients for greater progress on
inclusion and diversity, reskilling and upskilling their people, achieving
their sustainability goals, and creating meaningful experiences for
their customers and employees. See examples of the value we create
with and for our clients: Our client work

Through our purpose, our priorities, and where and how we invest, we help our clients become the next and best versions of themselves.

Response to COVID-19

We continue to step up to provide funding, access to vaccines and resources, and support to those most affected by the pandemic.

Accenture contributed

$54 million,

US$100 for each of our 540,000 Accenture people at the time of the donation, to COVID-19 relief efforts.

Driving vaccine equity in India

In partnership with NGOs, we also helped deliver

5+ million

vaccine doses to members of hard-to-reach communities, including the elderly, persons with disabilities, the LGBTI community and migrants.

We identified and supported organizations that were on the front lines, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Task Force on Pandemic Response: Mobilizing for India, UNICEF’s COVID-19 response efforts and the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization. Our people also contributed directly to these and other organizations making a difference, with Accenture matching 100% of personal donations made through our giving channels.
