Focusing on equality in the workplace. By the end of 2018, Accenture grew its workforce to more than 42 percent women — up from 41 percent the prior year — towards its goal of a gender-balanced workforce by 2025. The company also publishes its workforce demographics annually — including gender — across key geographies. Lessening its climate impact. In December 2018, Accenture announced a new Science-Based Target to reduce its absolute greenhouse gas emissions 11 percent by 2025, while continuing to grow its business. Leveraging new technology responsibly. Accenture has established an AI-specific code of ethics and business values and has developed a set of operational, technical, organizational and reputational “Responsible AI Requirements” that serve as the blueprint for companies looking to embrace a “Responsible AI” operating model. “At Accenture, our vision is to improve the way the world works and lives — and we believe that finding new ways to apply technology and innovation to solve societal issues will create a positive, lasting impact, for people and communities,” said Jill Huntley, Accenture’s managing director of global corporate citizenship. “ When business, government and civil society collaborate together, we deliver greater impact that helps build a more equal, inclusive, resilient society.”
