Creating a truly inclusive workplace
We recognize and encourage each Accenture person’s unique story—welcoming them as they are, helping them discover and develop each other’s talents.
Our more than 500,000 people around the world belong to a diverse, innovative global collective. Our people are our some of our most important stakeholders and sources of differentiation.
To support them—both inside and outside of work—we focus on equipping them with leading-edge technologies, opportunities for continuous learning and a supportive global community so they can solve challenges and help our clients, businesses and communities in a time of unprecedented change.

Shipping vessels are away from port for months at a time, which takes their crew away from their homes and families and makes it difficult to transfer funds back home.
NYK, a world leader in the shipping industry, hoped to improve the lives of seafarers and their families by creating a more secure, safer and easier way to pay their crew through a new electronic currency platform called “MarCoPay” (which comes from the term “Maritime Community”). The goal was to also simplify payments for the ship captain and reduce the need for carrying large amounts of cash on board, which can pose safety and security risks.
Together, with our clients, partners and people, we are collaborating to build a future of shared success.
