Accenture reports strong operational emissions data with KPMG verification and achieved SBTi net-zero validation in 2024. However, absolute Scope 3 emissions rose 22% year-over-year while the company relies on intensity targets rather than absolute reductions. Trade association memberships in climate-obstructive groups and prior NGO criticism of greenwashing undermine credibility despite recent improvements.
