The post-digital era brings economic and social uncertainties. At the same time, the power of intelligent technologies is radically disrupting long-standing paradigms and eroding trust. Accenture believes businesses must step up and positively impact society at a scale that makes a difference
“As the pace of innovation disrupts what it means to be a responsible business, organizations must take a leadership role in positively contributing to society at a scale that makes a difference,” — Laurence Morvan, Accenture’s corporate social responsibility officer and chief of staff – office of the CEO.
Corporate citizenship has always been fundamental to the way Accenture operates. Guided by the responsibility to their people, clients, communities and the environment, the company leverages its understanding of technology and its impact to help create more-inclusive societies that offer more opportunities to more people.
Accenture’s commitment is brought to life by its 477,000 people—a diverse collective of innovators who shape ideas into far-reaching solutions to complex societal challenges. Together, they are working to improve the lives of millions, now and for the next generation.
Accenture’s 2018 report illustrates the company’s commitment to purpose-driven innovation across the two pillars of its global corporate citizenship focus: Innovating for Society and Shaping Responsible Business.
