Corporate Social Responsibility at Accenture New Zealand

There are many options but they are very individual driven rather than driven from a higher company level.

A lot of projects to support university students

There are amazing opportunities in CSR, especially in the Development Program where you get to take reduced pay (although it's made up in living expenses being covered) to go overseas and work with an NGO or on a social project.

Volunteering programs, one paid volunteering day per year and programs such as Accenture Development Partnerships in which we do consulting work for NGO's and charities at a discounted rate.

Every employee is given 1 day of volunteering hours that they can charge whenever they like for any volunteering activity. Using this time is strongly encouraged and is a key KPI for senior management.

Support for volunteering leave as well as providing direct support to certain initiatives.

Lots of volunteering opportunities.

At Accenture, each employee is encouraged to complete 1 day of volunteering per financial year. Personally, I completed this with OzHarvest, a company that collects unwanted food from supermarkets and delivers it to local charities.

Accenture is very big on 'corporate citizenship' and every employee gets one paid day a year to do volunteering.

there is a push to volunteer with each employee given a 1 day leave each year. however, it is difficult to schedule with the work being very busy.

Every employee gets 1 volunteer day a year to support a cause of their choice. They don�t have to take it - and can request additional days, but the volunteer day is paid. They support Tech Girls are Super Heroes - a movement that goes into primary schools and encourages younger girls to get into coding and engineering roles. Which encourages them to enter a largely male dominated workplace.

1 day a year, paid volunteering

Big push for volunteering and CSR

Good initiatives - Coding for kids, volunteering in kitchens and building bikes for kids.

Everyone has to participate on CSR one day per year. I have participated in one event where I had to help the kids with cerebral palsy syndrome.

Volunteer day per FY. Can get additional volunteer leave under special circumstances.

They have teamed up with many charities but attending initiatives during work hours, although time provided to do so, is sometimes too hard

Massive global program of pro-bono consulting I worked on mentoring entrepreneurs in Uganda

Doing community service once per year is mandatory, and getting more involved is encouraged. I have volunteered for Dress for Success. Accenture is part of a huge range of volunteering projects and initiates.

Each employee is encouraged to take a corporate citizenship day (which is an allocated day to use towards a charity of an employee's choice).
