Vendor Summary

Accenture

Accenture gives a rounded description of its environmental policies and metrics, quoting examples from around the world: Spain, Bangalore, Brazil, Japan, Manila and the UK. It aims to drive change through its role as supplier, customer and employer.

The UK entry is comprehensive, if in parts trivial. (How important is it for us to know that Accenture's staff canteen stocks Fairtrade products and that Accenture uses a special purifier of mains water to avoid having to buy copious bottled water?)

The UK entry also contains details of the amount of paper Accenture uses, how many flights it books, the fact that each workstation generated 94 kg of waste in FY06, its recycling of old office furniture to Remploy etc, and its commitment to continuous improvement.
