To gain a sense of the state of sustainability in the UK and North America, CIMA, the AICPA and CICA recently surveyed over 2000 organisational leaders from their respective memberships, and interviewed sustainability executives from leading organisations to examine key characteristics of business sustainability, and the level of finance function involvement in corporate sustainability initiatives.
The finance function can add a lot of value in terms of making sure that information related to sustainability – particularly information that enters the public domain – is produced and managed with the necessary level of rigor.
