The European Federation of Accountants and Auditors or SMEs (EFAA) has recently had an article published in the academic journal ‘Environment, Development and Sustainability’ on the role of small- and medium-sized accountancy practices (SMPs) in the sustainable transition of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). European and global economies are committed to accelerating their sustainable transition. An important step in realising this transition is to get robust corporate sustainability reporting. In this way, this paper focuses on the recent European developments setting new legislation and standards. Specifically, a survey questionnaire from a focus group of accounting experts examines the future role of SMPs in enabling this transition. The experts are all members of the EFAA. With its focus on SMPs, this paper performs a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the responses obtained. ...

If you studied sustainability in school or have even a casual interest in the circular economy, you’ve almost certainly heard of Interface, a carpet company that has a 50-plus-year history of being at the forefront of both corporate sustainability and circularity. I’m dating myself a bit here, but I vividly remember the first time I learned about Interface and its totally radical (at the time) business model, which involved treating flooring as a service instead of a product so that it could take carpeting back at the end of its useful life and reuse the materials. It was the first time I’d heard of anything like it — and it’s what started me on my transition to working at the intersection of business and sustainability. Thanks ...

"ESG" was supposed to be a clear way for companies to explain their business decisions around environmental, social and governance considerations. How did the term go off the rails? In 2015, Paris was buzzing with anticipation as world leaders gathered for the UN's annual Climate Change Conference (COP21). ...
