Accenture And Salesforce To Embed ESG Goals In Cloud Technologies

Accenture Plc (NYSE: ACN) and Salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE: CRM) broadened their partnership to embed their cloud technologies with sustainability goals.
The combination of Accenture’s Sustainability Services and Salesforce Sustainability Cloud will help companies bring sustainability to the front office and provide the C-suite with true visibility into their company’s historical and real-time environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data.
Companies will be able to measure a range of sustainability initiatives, including reporting on carbon usage, meeting regulatory requirements, and develop business models around ESG, advancing towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Accenture will support the integration of Salesforce Sustainability Cloud into their business policies, operating models, technologies and develop sustainability acumens.
The companies will also focus on broader analysis initiatives of ESG metrics during the year.
“The partnership will allow Accenture and Salesforce to use their joint forces to address the rapidly growing end-user demand for data-based insights around sustainability performance and metrics-driven approaches that help turn ESG topics into drivers for positive business outcomes,” said IDC senior research analyst Bjoern Stengel.
