The financial case for sustainability

accountancy insights podcast behind the numbers padding

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we discuss the progress of sustainability reporting.

Across the globe, sustainability reporting has become increasingly mandated for large organisations. Now, with the CSRD introduced in the European Union and the first two ISSB standards set to be endorsed by the UK, the challenge for accountants lies in ensuring that the quality of non-financial information matches that of financial information.

To discuss the key issues, Philippa Lamb is joined by Richard Spencer, ICAEW Director of Sustainability; David Wray, founder of ESG consultancy DWG and IESBA Ethics Board member; and Marie-Josée Privyk, ESG coach and adviser.
