Accenture

Accenture, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is a professional services firm specializing in consulting, technology, artificial intelligence, cloud, cybersecurity, operations, and digital transformation. The company serves clients in sectors such as financial services, healthcare, communications, technology, public service, consumer goods, energy, and utilities. Led by Chair and CEO Julie Sweet, Accenture maintains a global office network and supports digital infrastructure, facility resilience, and client sustainability initiatives. While not highly water-intensive, water use remains relevant to its ESG performance.

Accenture's key water sustainability achievement is the completion of water-risk planning for all high-risk facilities. The company has developed water resiliency action plans for 100% of these locations, addressing climate-related flooding, drought, and water scarcity. Accenture uses the World Resources Institute Aqueduct tool to assess water risk and measures, monitors, and reports water use at high-risk sites.

Accenture advanced water-related innovation through its partnership with UNICEF Generation Unlimited's imaGen Ventures. In fiscal 2025, the program supported over 23,000 young innovators globally, including projects such as industrial water filtration in Turkey and environmental solutions in Nigeria and Mexico. While not a direct operational water-reduction initiative, this demonstrates Accenture's commitment to supporting youth-led water and sustainability innovation.
