Innovating for Society

As a global company with our eyes fixed on the future, we think it’s essential to maintain a serious commitment to ethical behavior. This means that alongside serving our clients, we take responsibility towards the planet and people through our corporate citizenship program.

Every day, we use our understanding of technology and its impact on people to transform society at scale, in a responsible way. The ideas we have, the innovations we create and the partnerships we develop, all have a ripple effect that changes the lives of millions for the better.

We are building better societies by focusing on education, employment, and economic independence. New technologies, combined with our social partnerships and the passion of our people, are transforming the way we work, which enables us to make a greater impact.

A better tomorrow

Our goal is to help as many people as possible to maximize their potential in order to create a better tomorrow. That's why we aim to give 5 million people the skills they need to thrive in the digital economy – and help improve the lives of millions more by 2025. Find out more about our mission and how we tackle social, environmental and economic challenges in our 2018 CSR report.

We're making noticeable progress as we've already equipped 2.8 million people worldwide with the skills to find a job or build a business since 2010. Right here in the Netherlands, we have been equipping people like Abdallah, Barbara, and Sander with these kinds of skills to succeed.

We work with diverse social partners like Plan International, the Impact Hub, and the Refugee Talent Hub to help our impact reach further.

Purpose to action

At Accenture, everyone is encouraged to get involved with our Corporate Citizenship and find their own purpose. If you come and work here, you'll get lots of opportunities to make an individual difference, using your passions and talents to help a cause you care about. Every employee can spend up to 24 of their working hours volunteering for a good cause and putting forward their own impact initiatives. If you join us, you can also work on projects for our non-profit partners that we offer on a pro bono basis to find tailored solutions for societal or environmental challenges.

On top of that, all Accenture employees can start fundraisers to support the causes and non-profit organization they care about. In this case, the amount raised will be doubled by the Accenture Netherlands Foundation to create an even bigger impact! If you're enthusiastic about making an impact outside of The Netherlands, we've got something for you too: internationally, we also aim to provide the most innovative and inspiring impact projects through our Accenture Development Partnerships.
