Value from every angle: Annual Report Fiscal 2024

The core of our strategy is delivering 360° value to our clients, people, shareholders, partners and communities by helping them continuously reinvent. To drive change for our clients, and for our business, we work across a spectrum of ESG priorities—and help our stakeholders do the same—contributing to the creation of a more sustainable world for all.

We believe that accountability and transparency build trust. Our 360° Value Report 2024 presents a comprehensive, detailed view of our goals, progress and performance across six vital dimensions of value—Client, Talent, Inclusion & Diversity, Experience, Sustainability and Financial—during fiscal 2024 (ended August 31, 2024), unless otherwise noted.

The 360° Value Reporting Experience captures the full spectrum of our commitments, our actions at Accenture and in our communities, and the change we make in collaboration with our clients and partners.

Evolving our reporting

We continually take steps to strengthen our reporting approach through ongoing stakeholder engagement and voluntary adherence to global non-financial reporting standards.

We report against the following ESG reporting frameworks—the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the World Economic Forum International Business Council (Forum IBC) metrics, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the Ten Principles of the UNGC, and CDP.  In addition, we continue to build on our long-standing partnership with UNGC and our commitment to the SDGs.

We are building on our strong integrated reporting approach to advance our readiness to report under evolving reporting standards and regulation, including the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the International Sustainability Standards Board's reporting standards.

Accenture’s progress on key non-financial indicators:

Accenture’s Conflict Minerals Report:

We have a strong commitment to environmental sustainability in how we operate our business, and we hold ourselves accountable to clear and measurable objectives. For example, in 2020, we established a 2025 carbon removal goal – previously referred to as our 2025 net-zero emissions goal – and we are on track to achieve this goal. During fiscal 2024, we received approval from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets aligned with SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard, including new, near-term and long-term reduction targets. We continue to work toward our 2025 carbon removal goal by first focusing on reductions across our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and then removing any remaining emissions through nature-based carbon removal projects. At the end of fiscal 2024, our nature-based carbon removal portfolio included projects in Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States (outside the state of California). Carbon credits were not applied to offset any of our total reported emissions for fiscal 2024.

Information on our environmental goals and progress, greenhouse gas emissions and related initiatives, is available on this website, including our 360° Value Report, Annual Report, press releases and other documents available on our website. Information on third-party limited assurance of our greenhouse gas emissions is available in our disclosures (including archived reports) on this webpage.

For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see the information under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them, notwithstanding any historical practice of doing so. Forward-looking and other statements on this site may also address our corporate responsibility progress, plans and goals (including environmental and inclusion and diversity matters), and unless specifically indicated otherwise, the inclusion of such statements is not an indication that these contents are necessarily material to Accenture, our investors, or other stakeholders or required to be disclosed in Accenture’s filings in each case, under U.S. securities or any other laws or requirements that may be applicable to Accenture. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking environmental and social-related statements have been, and may in the future be, based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing; historical or current goals, commitments, or estimates; internal controls and processes that continue to evolve; and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance, nor promises that goals or targets will be met, and are subject to numerous and evolving risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to predict or assess. In some cases, we may determine to adjust our commitments, goals or targets, or establish new ones to reflect changes in our business, operations or plans.
