NEW YORK; Nov. 22, 2013 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) today announced more than US$2 million in cash and pro-bono contributions to support disaster relief and reconstruction efforts in the Philippines, following Typhoon Haiyan.

“On behalf of our people in the region and around the world, we are deeply saddened by the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan,” said Pierre Nanterme, Accenture Chairman & CEO. “Our thoughts remain with our colleagues, their families and the people of the Philippines, as we commit to supporting the rebuilding process.”

Accenture’s contributions include the following mix of financial giving and time and skills of its people:

Cash grants will offer support for long-term reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts required to enable communities to rebuild through skills development and economic activity.
