ACCA will foster in the 8th of February 2017, in Brussels, the 2017 edition of the President’s Debate. This edition will aim to foster effective engagement among policymakers, investors, landowners, land managers, businesses, natural capital specialists and accountancy professionals, to address challenges and define the next steps to further embed natural capital and social considerations in business decision making.
The growing interest in the concept of natural capital is already driving a wide range of initiatives aimed at developing tools and frameworks accounting for and reporting on natural capital as all businesses depend upon natural capital, derived from natural resources. In addition, population growth and the need to feed growing numbers of people put intense pressure on both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. These are trends that are likely to worsen in the future if a state of business-as-usual continues.
More on this event and on the related ACCA paper, are available on the ACCA website.
