Drive value from responsible digital transformation

Overview

Organizations need new strategies and capabilities to build digital trust and responsibility effectively, preserving their ability to deliver sustainable growth. According to the Accenture Technology Vision 2016, 83 percent of respondents agree that trust is the cornerstone of the digital economy.

Accenture Strategy works with organizations on digital trust and responsibility programs to:

  • Measure the societal impact of business-led digital transformation

We also help clients develop deep insights on sustainability issues based on our ongoing investments in research, including recent studies on consumer and investor expectations and global executive opinion on corporate sustainability and climate change.

By better navigating sustainability, business leaders can turn costs and risks into business opportunities.
