Sustainability

ACCA has been actively involved with the unfolding debate on sustainability since 1990. This section outlines ACCA's public position on and commitment to the sustainable development and CSR agenda.

Awards for sustainability reporting

ACCA awards are established around the world - Asia, Europe, North America, and Australasia.

The awards identify and reward innovative attempts to communicate corporate performance, although we do not comment on performance itself, only transparency and reporting standards.

Sustainability and the ACCA Qualification

Taking responsibility: ethics, social, and environmental issues are at the heart of the ACCA Qualification.

ACCA recognises that the inclusion of sustainability and environmental issues throughout the ACCA Qualification is of vital importance for future generations of finance professionals.
