As more and more of our clients are pursuing ways to embed sustainability into their operations, they are looking to Accenture for help. For good reason. We understand the importance of sustainable business practices. In fact, sustainability has long been a cornerstone of our corporate culture. And in the changing global landscape, it is becoming a significant factor in achieving high performance.

Accenture defines sustainability as the way an organization increases its positive—and reduces its negative—effects on society, the environment and the economy.

Whether dealing with our own people, clients or business partners, we consider decisions that factor in the principles of sustainability. We see sustainability both as a commercial opportunity and as an extension of our stewardship role in supporting global business and society.

Helping our clients become sustainable businesses

Moving to more sustainable business practices offers the opportunity simultaneously to reduce costs, manage risk and increase appeal to a growing base of socially and environmentally concerned customers. These advantages are especially important in today’s uncertain economic climate, which is forcing companies in all industries to preserve capital and rethink how they will compete in a markedly different world.

The Accenture Sustainability group works with clients across industries and geographies to integrate sustainability approaches into their business strategies, operating models and value chains. Our approach encompasses strategy, design and execution of processes, systems and behaviors to increase revenue, reduce cost, manage risk and enhance brand, reputation and intangible assets.
