Following on from the very successful Building Resilience “Equality. Diversity. Opportunity” webinar, the FinBiz2030 Irish Taskforce was created.
Launched in late 2020 by Chartered Accountants Worldwide, One Young World and Chartered Accountants Ireland, the task force is committed to facilitating the effort to unite & mobilise the Irish finance and business community to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
