Accenture in South Africa

Within our organisation exist key responsible business efforts, stemming from grass-root level, all the way to workforce and sustainable opportunity creation.

Accenture has partnered up with SA INC. Together we are changing the conversations from the doom and gloom and sharing the news that doesn't reach the headlines. Through our partnership with SA INC, our program reflects on positive, replicable and scalable initiatives, with purposeful engagement and inclusive business led development across the country, focusing on skills development & job creation.

Accenture’s foundation was built on the concept of being truly human. It is of the utmost importance that we are positioning Accenture South Africa as a contributing factor to the fabric of our nation.

Diversity is an important cornerstone of Accenture’s business. It makes us stronger and more innovative. We believe a culture of equality is one in which everyone—regardless of age, ability, ethnicity and race, gender identity and expression, religion or sexual orientation—can bring their whole selves to work and thrive.

At Accenture, our goal is to achieve a 50/50 gender split by 2025. We are well on our way to achieving this target. Building a culture of equality is not just an ethical imperative, but a business priority. If organizations want to thrive, they have to “get to equal.”

Our annual Getting to Equal research aims to uncover insights that can help organisations accelerate achieving a culture of equality. Accenture's new gender equality report explains differing perceptions on inclusive workplace culture & how leaders can drive a culture of equality.

The Gender Mainstreaming Awards aims to reward organisations and individuals that are at the forefront in advancing the business case for gender diversity in Africa.

The Gender Mainstreaming Awards encourage a meaningful representation of women in the business. This year the awards have expanded beyond Southern Africa to East and West Africa. Awards entries from companies across the region highlight the growing demand and interest in progressing equality discussions, gender inclusion and diversity programmes into business activity and leadership on the continent.

Join us for the event that is changing the face of business in Africa.

The Voices of Change movement was born at the 2017 One Young World Summit when Accenture and Thomson Reuters identified an opportunity to leverage their networks and experience to create a lasting and impactful change.

A drive to a more equal society is more difficult today than ever. Women are still significantly under-represented in the workplace (47 percent vs. 74 percent of men globally), with less than 10 percent making it into top leadership. South Africa mirrors these trends: unemployment rates among women are higher across all races; women are more susceptible to retrenchment; and they are paid less. To fast track gender parity, powerful organisations must come together and share a set of values across their organisations to strengthen the value proposition of gender equality needed to build a more powerful, economically inclusive future.
