Accenture

Accenture reported Total CO2e Emissions - Market-Based Scope 1 + Scope 2 for the twelve months ending 30 September 2022 at 26 Kt (-54 /-67.3% y-o-y). Also positively, carbon intensity declined to 0.4 t (-1.2 /-75% y-o-y).

Accenture's Scope 3 emissions increased to 374 Kt (+122/+48% y-o-y). The parameter has been fairly volatile.

The company is committed to achieving net zero for Scope 1 + 2 by 2025, which translates into the estimated reduction of -8.7 Kt per annum over the period of FY2023 - FY2025. This target, however, has not been recognised as science-based (and as aligned with Paris Agreement) by the SBTi.

Accenture also has a science-based goal that, however, does not appear to explicitly target a company-wide reduction in emissions in absolute terms. Accenture commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 80% by FY2030 from a FY2019 base year. Accenture also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions 55% per unit of revenue within the same timeframe.
