Signatories to the Sustainable Finance Education Charter (SFEC) today (2 May 2024) issued a third Annual Progress Report, highlighting the importance of sustainability and green finance education across the financial and related professional services sectors. As a proud signatory of the SFEC, the Association of International Accountants (AIA) champions this key initiative, working with other professional bodies and government departments, to ensure finance professionals are equipped to meet the evolving demands of financial reporting and disclosure frameworks.
AIA’s Sustainability Promise, embedded within its governance framework with the appointment of a dedicated sustainability expert to AIA’s Council, highlights ongoing support of the activities and objectives of the SFEC. Over the period outlined within this Report AIA has facilitated dialogue on climate change and environmental issues, taken part in events with regulators and other professional bodies, published sustainability-related articles and hosted events for professional accountants. The Green Finance and Sustainability Hub continues to offer updated guidance on reporting standards, signpost key literature and learning material, and host insightful articles.
David Potts, AIA Director of Policy & Regulation, said AIA’s work to support the SFEC shows our dedication to equipping members with the required tools to lead in sustainable finance. We ensure our members remain ahead of the curve, empowered with the latest knowledge and skills.
