Corporate Citizenship

Accenture's corporate citizenship initiative, Skills to Succeed, applies an Accenture core competence—training talent—to the need for skills that open doors to employment around the world.

In 2010, we set an overarching goal for our efforts: by 2015, Skills to Succeed initiatives will equip 250,000 people around the world with the skills to get a job or build a business. We exceeded our goal early and increased our commitment: by 2015, we plan to equip 500,000 people around the world with these workplace and entrepreneurial skills.

Skills to Succeed inspires our people, and their passion, experience and commitment to developing and nurturing talent fuel our initiatives.  We offer our people volunteering and pro bono consulting opportunities and expand our impact by replicating and scaling successful programs.  Additionally, Skills to Succeed engages and inspires our clients, recruits, strategic partners and the people whose lives we change. Together we have the opportunity to create measurable impact that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Learn more about our commitment to Skills to Succeed and how we are driving measurable impact through our long-term relationships with strategic partners.

Environmentally sustainable growth has become central to all high-performance businesses. At Accenture, our efforts to ensure sustainable growth span our entire operations, from how we run our business to the services we provide our clients to how we engage with our employees and suppliers.

Fostering environmentally sustainable growth for our company and our stakeholders is at the heart of our environmental strategy, which comprises four areas: running efficient operations, working sustainably, enabling client sustainability and providing insights to advance sustainability.

Our people enthusiastically create and adopt innovative approaches to eco-smart work practices, notably in our global Eco Challenge competitions, which encourage embedding eco-smart work practices into Accenture projects.

Take the Accenture Eco Challenge and test your eco-smarts!
