Commitment to diversity and comment about
Pride at Work Canada

Accenture embraces the diversity of its talent pool and relies on those differences to drive its innovation, growth and performance.
Accenture is represented on the Board of Directors at Pride at Work Canada and has been an active participant of numerous Pride at Work Canada events.

Vision for the future
At the heart of the Accenture Inclusion and Diversity strategy is finding the best people for the job, grooming them for global careers and exceeding their expectations through our visionary culture. By following through on these commitments, Accenture taps into new ideas and creativity that benefit our people and the communities in which we live and work, and that, ultimately, help our clients achieve high performance. Inclusion and diversity are absolutely central to our business — both today and tomorrow. This is a critical strength that we must maintain and foster. So, we will continue to educate, energize and inspire our people to create a culture of inclusion and diversity. At the end of the day it takes personal intervention and leadership to make real progress happen. That is the journey we are on.
