Sustainability will never do without Governments
<p>In our third episode of <strong>season three</strong> we continue our discussion on sustainability reporting standards with <strong>Accountancy Europe's senior manager Paul Gisby, </strong>this time with a focus on governments, mainly excluded from our last debate.</p><br><p>Governments make up a major part of the world economy with currently no internationally accepted standard for sustainability reporting, or for other elements of NFI reporting. Therefore it is crucial for the public sector to be held accountable through sustainable reporting standards tp help us reach our global climate goals.<strong> Tune in</strong> to hear how this necessary change for the public sector is a pillar of <strong>Accountancy Europe's Green Recovery Counts campaign </strong>and how we are working on pushing for more action from national governments in public sector NFI and sustainability reporting. </p><br><p><strong>Have a listen </strong>to what would happen if governments were obliged to do sustainability reporting and what kind of difference that could make in helping us achieve global climate goals. And how can we go about putting the wheels in motion for this?</p><br><p>Stay tuned to hear more about updates on EU financial and non-financial matters and follow us on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/because-people-count/id1499511847" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iTunes</a>,<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/29UdPRoEBpUD89P1Wwqk4W" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> and <a href="https://shows.acast.com/because-people-count" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more</a>!</p><p>For further information on the podcast, please contact: <a href="mailto:news@accountancyeurope.eu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">news@accountancyeurope.eu</a></p><br><p>Photo Credit: Accountancy Europe, 2021</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

There’s no Creation like Co-creation: Sustainability Reporting Standards
<p>Season three continues with our very own <strong>Jona Basha</strong>, Senior manager at Accountancy Europe, and a look into sustainability reporting standards. She answers crucial questions about the sustainability reporting standards and how they make a difference.</p><br><p>Unlike financial reporting, which is based on a globally trusted set of standards, sustainability reporting is still fragmented. Many competing options of what to report on emerged over the years. These varying ‘standards’ allowed companies to cherry pick the standard that would show them in the best light. But where does this leave the global debate? Is the EU striking out on its own?</p><br><p>Jona takes us on a deep dive into the political debate around how and who should develop these standards. We also look at where the process stands and how it could best achieve its goals.</p><br><p>Stay tuned to hear more about updates on EU financial and non-financial matters and follow us on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/because-people-count/id1499511847" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iTunes</a>,<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/29UdPRoEBpUD89P1Wwqk4W" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> and <a href="https://shows.acast.com/because-people-count" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more</a>!</p><p>For further information on the podcast, please contact: <a href="mailto:andrea@accountancyeurope.eu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">andrea@accountancyeurope.eu</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Reporting beyond the Financials: Sustainability on the Books
<p>We kick off season three with a look at how our sustainable future begins with corporate reporting. How can that be, you might ask?</p><br><p><strong>Nadja Picard</strong>, Global Reporting Leader at PwC Germany joins us to answer some crucial questions about the future of corporate reporting.</p><br><p>Many companies are already going beyond the financials, but without harmonisation in non-financial reporting standards, this can very easily lead to greenwashing, as companies choose to report only the non-financial information that makes the company look good.</p><br><p>We spoke with Nadja on how financial and non-financial reporting has to come together to give a more accurate picture on company performance. She also discusses how EU efforts and global non-financial reporting standards will have to be aligned and why.</p><br><p>Stay tuned to hear more about updates on EU financial and non-financial matters and follow us on iTunes, Spotify and more!</p><p>For further information on the podcast, please contact: <a href="mailto:andrea@accountancyeurope.eu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">andrea@accountancyeurope.eu</a></p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
