"Organizations are increasingly pursuing more sustainable business models and improved performance in environmental, social and governance (ESG) terms. This shift brings financial and competitive value to companies, while making sustainability and ESG a priority at all levels of the organization,”

Post COP26 in particular, companies in Europe are accelerating their sustainability transformations, with evolving energy and supply-chains pressures only furthering this trend.   Peter Lacy, Accenture’s global Sustainability Services lead and chief responsibility officer, added,

“The Accenture Sustainability Value Promise is to embed sustainability into everything we do, with everyone we work with, creating both business value and sustainable impact, enabled by technology and human ingenuity. Adding more than 270 deeply skilled professionals in the areas of low-carbon energy transitions, the circular economy and ESG measurement would rapidly accelerate our already-strong leadership both across Europe, and within the critical markets of France, Belgium and the Netherlands.”  Yann Louise, Co-founder of Greenfish, said,

Combining our respective expertise would allow us to reach a larger group of clients, and offer a whole new level of strategic counsel and services, thus accelerating the sustainability transformation of our clients and increasing our impact on society.”   The acquisition requires prior consultation with the relevant works councils and would be subject to customary closing conditions.   About Accenture Accenture is a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security.
