Accenture&rsquo;s Enterprise and Supplier Development Programme (ESDP) is delivering excellent results. Initiated in 2015 and continuously refined to meet the needs of the South African environment, this programme is a reflection of our commitment to inclusion and diversity. It doesn&rsquo;t just satisfy legislative requirements&mdash;it delivers real, meaningful value to ESDP participants, Accenture&rsquo;s business, our clients, the communities we work in, and the South African economy.
Now, as demand for greater diversity and inclusivity in the market grows, we are making our ESDP approach and our SME Digital Ecosystem platform available to other Accenture regions across the globe running a Diverse Supplier Development Program (DSDP), and corporate businesses keen to turn their ESD programmes into a strategic advantage.
