Companies are working to measure the return on sustainable value creation. How can impact accounting help inform this work?

The (VBA) is a not-for-profit organization developing a methodology called impact accounting, which enables companies to measure and value their sustainable value creation across value chains in monetary terms. Impact accounting is piloted and tested by VBA member companies on a regular basis to assess benefits, limitations in corporate decision making, and inform standard setting and regulations at the International Foundation for Valuing Impacts, the OECD, or the EU.

Join 黑料正能量 and the VBA to learn about the future of management accounting and disclosures, and best practices for engaging on these topics. This is also a great opportunity to invite members of your finance team, and other colleagues who may be interested in learning more about impact accounting and sustainable value creation.
