At Accenture, we are constantly taking actions to create more employment and advancement opportunities for people from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds. We are standing up for equality, making progress on our bold, aggressive goals and moving forward with conviction—within our company and in our communities.
Although we’ve made considerable progress, it has not happened fast enough. Last year, the tragic losses of African American and Black lives hastened the discussion of what every person and every organization can do to help ensure equal opportunity for all. We responded by closely examining every aspect of our workplace experience. That led to concrete steps, including announcing new goals for 2025 to increase race and ethnicity representation in our workforce overall, as well as among our managing director roles, for African American and Black and Hispanic American and Latinx people.
Charting our progress
Transparency is paramount. It holds us accountable. In fact, in 2016 we became the first professional services company to publish comprehensive data about our US workforce. Every year since, we’ve shared our workforce composition by gender, ethnicity and race, persons with disabilities and veterans.
This year, to provide even greater transparency, we are publishing workforce data in greater detail. We added gender data by race and ethnicity to provide a more comprehensive picture of the people who work at Accenture and the work that remains to make Accenture look more like the communities in which we work and live.
We also added the gender, race and ethnic diversity of our managing directors, thus providing more visibility into our progress.
Since we began reporting our data we’ve made great strides, including:
Never letting up
The passion our people at Accenture have for equality and making positive, impactful change has never been stronger. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and we won’t stop until equality is the reality. But achieving our goals is not just a numbers game. That’s why we are focused on making sure everyone feels seen, safe, connected and courageous. I’m confident that Accenture’s support and commitment to equality for all of our people will drive change both here in North America and across the globe.

CEO – North America
Accenture has offices across these United States, located on lands where Native American Tribes once flourished, and that many still inhabit. Accenture promotes a culture of equality to ensure all our people feel they belong and can advance and thrive. Land acknowledgement statements are important to the Native American and Alaska Native people at Accenture and in our communities to acknowledge the rich history and culture of Indigenous people. Accenture hopes that by raising awareness and acknowledging the history behind this land, we can help preserve the heritage, enable the future, and support the prosperity of this population.
