“The Accenture Sustainability Challenge is an opportunity for individuals to come together to create more resilient, engaged and sustainable communities, while accelerating the transition to a greener economy at a national and local level. Communities hold the power to be catalysts for real change and, as a business operating in Ireland for over 50 years, we believe that one of the most important things we can do is engage and support the communities in which we live and work. As a company, we are making sustainability one of our greatest responsibilities, embedding it by design into our core business—into everything we do and for everyone we work with. To accelerate the change needed to transform our societies and economies, and to protect the planet, we need new levels of collaboration. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to help local leaders play a vital part in protecting, enhancing and restoring our natural environment countrywide.”
