We are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and making a positive difference to the world around us. We deliver on that commitment by working with leading charitable organizations and by nurturing diversity in our workforces.
Our people are not just passionate about their work challenges; they are passionate about the world around them. We do all we can to enable Accenture employees to play a part and make an impact. Accenture staff donates time to Save the Children (Rädda Barnen) and CARE, an international humanitarian organization. And through innovative programs, like Accenture's Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). our people are able make a substantial impact on local community or business.
Through Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP) and VSO Business Partnerships (VBP). Accenture employees make high-quality consulting services available to organizations working in developing countries. This is executed through two separate not-for-profit global programs and the volunteers typically undertake assignments lasting between one and twelve months, in locations where their skills directly benefit local communities around the world. Employees return from an environment of International Development to the business with greatly enhanced skills, knowledge and vision.
This is a great possibility for employees that want to be responsible corporate citizens and pursue personal development opportunities outside the normal career path.
We believe that the companies succeeding in the 21st century are those that learn and adapt the fastest, collaborate on values, and embrace diversity of thought, appearance and culture. Accenture Sweden actively participates in the work of the women’s organization, Carpe Competencia. The goal of Carpe Competencia is to motivate and inspire leadership, as well as provide access to leading companies for Sweden's top female university students and young professionals.
