Envision, Accenture Team Up to Help Clients Accelerate Transition to Net-Zero

At the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), green-tech companies Envision Group and Accenture announced a sustainability strategic partnership to help clients move toward net-zero.

The two companies will partner to provide their latest digital technologies, service capabilities, industry experience and global network to help businesses achieve their net-zero targets more quickly and effectively.

Envision designs, sells and operates smart wind turbines through Envision Energy, AIoT-powered batteries through Envision AESC and the world’s largest AIoT operating system through Envision Digital. The company states that it promotes wind and solar power as the ‘new coal’, batteries and hydrogen fuels as the ‘new oil’, and the AIoT network as the ‘new grid’ to create a zero carbon world.

Lei Zhang, CEO of Envision, said, “This partnership brings two complementary businesses together on the same mission. Our net-zero solutions, combined with Accenture’s sustainability services and deep industry expertise, will ensure no company is left behind on the journey to net-zero.”

Envision Group was ranked among the Top 10 of the 2019 ‘World’s 50 Smartest Companies’ by the MIT Technology Review. The company joined the global ‘RE100’ initiative and became the first company in mainland China committed to 100% renewable electricity by 2025.

“By embedding sustainability by design, organizations can take action now to make and meet their net-zero targets,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture. “Together with Envision, we can create innovative solutions that help companies across industries move faster toward a sustainable future.”

Accenture is a global professional services company with capabilities in digital, cloud and security. It offers Strategy and Consulting, Interactive, Technology and Operations services — all powered by the world’s largest network of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Operations centres.

As more companies realize the opportunities that emerge from a net-zero journey, the Accenture and Envision partnership will provide comprehensive sustainability offerings to help drive their business transformation and achieve their net-zero goals, said an official statement.
