Accenture reports strong operational emissions data with KPMG verification and achieved SBTi net-zero validation in 2024. However, absolute Scope 3 emissions rose 22% year-over-year while the company relies on intensity targets rather than absolute reductions. Trade association memberships in climate-obstructive groups and prior NGO criticism of greenwashing undermine credibility despite recent improvements.
Accenture scores 59/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places Accenture joint 17th of 847 companies scored, and joint 2nd of 16 in Consulting / Professional Services.
