Chartered Accountants and the Global Goals
Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social—also known informally as profits, planet, and people.
Chartered Accountants Worldwide and our Member Institutes are committed to working with the financial sector to ensure that we meet the targets set out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Together we are working to encourage businesses to frame decisions in terms of environmental, social, and human impact for the long-term, rather than on short-term gains. Influencing them to consider more factors than simply the immediate profit or loss involved.
We believe that with everyones help, we can, in this decade, create a cleaner, greener, fairer world. We encourage companies to issue commitments to achieve the UN SDGs by 2030.

Significant developments bring climate risk further into the domain of accountants
Can accountants link profit and the fate of our planet? Corporate reporting could help shift us to a low-emissions economy.

One clear way that Chartered Accountant Member Institutes are rising to this challenge is in the creation and hosting of online events and activities.
We are working with the Institutes to present the events that have a global perspective and are available to Chartered Accountants everywhere.
