As stakeholders demand more environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts 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. 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.
Leading through change
Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce, and Julie Sweet, CEO of Accenture talk sustainability
We work closely with clients and ecosystem partners to help transition industries to low-carbon energy; reduce the carbon footprint of IT, cloud and software; and design and deliver net-zero, circular supply chains.
We help our clients build sustainable operating models for the future, devise measurement targets for success and deliver better sustainability outcomes for consumers.
Low carbon energy 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.
Sustainable, enabling technology
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.
Responsible value chains
If we want to make an impact on the sustainability agenda, we need to address the value chain: how and where value is created. Accenture designs for impact by embedding sustainability into every phase to deliver trusted, net zero and circular value chains.
Sustainable measurement
What we measure shapes what we do. For sustainability to become business reality it must drive what we target and how we report. Accenture provides the tools, technology, and methodologies that infuse sustainable thinking into how we define business success.
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.
Sustainable organization
Committing to sustainability is not just about one-off actions. It is about creating the mechanisms and cultures that bake sustainability into everything we do. Accenture uses the latest insights in organization design to transform the way people work with lasting impact.
