With only 7% of global companies on track to meet their net zero
targets by 2050, clients across industries are seeking new and
improved ways to accelerate their net zero transitions. Green Domus
will bring clients solutions to embed carbon data and insights into
their decision-making through deep knowledge of sustainability
frameworks such as Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi),
voluntary carbon credits and emerging regulatory schemes such as
the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) which recently
launched in the EU.
“Green Domus’ approach to measuring carbon emissions data and
Accenture’s suite of advanced sustainability services, such as our
net zero transition solutions, will support our clients in building
resilient futures,” said Matthew Govier, Latin America
Sustainability Services lead for Accenture. “These services will
continue to transform industries and build a path forward for
unlocking growth and adopting more sustainable business
models.”
Founded in 2005, Green Domus is headquartered in Brazil. Its
decarbonization strategy expertise, with two decades of industry
experience, has enhanced its carbon measurement and net zero
transition capabilities across diverse industries, such as natural
resources, agriculture, consumer goods and retail. Green Domus has
been able to deliver customized mitigation plans based on feasible
reduction targets that can also reduce clients’ costs. Their
support spans product lifecycle assessments, materiality
assessments, sustainability measurement and performance and
sectoral analytics projects.
“Accenture’s scale and focus on sustainability will be critical
to helping our clients address the disruption affecting our
communities and planet,” said Felipe Bottini CEO of Green Domus.
“Businesses are anticipating the impacts of this disruption along
with increased regulatory compliance. By joining Accenture, we will
use the latest technologies to collaboratively accelerate our
ability to embed sustainability into long-lasting solutions that
address global challenges such as decarbonization.”
Green Domus is Accenture’s latest sustainability-focused
acquisition, which comes in addition to the company’s significant
expansion of its global capabilities through investing in its
people and recruiting top talent. Accenture continues to place
ever-greater emphasis on creating sustainable value and impact for
clients by expanding its capabilities in sustainability strategy,
net zero transitions, and responsible value-chain transformations.
Other recent sustainability services acquisitions include Avieco,
Carbon Intelligence, Greenfish, akzente, and Zestgroup.
Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing
conditions.
