Finance teams are a vital element in building a sustainable world only if they are able to recognise the risks and opportunities associated with sustainability and are equipped to act on them, according to the Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S). At a seminar co-organized by HKGCC and the British Chamber of Commerce on 22 October, panellist and A4S Executive Chairman Jessica Fries introduced the project and discussed why finance leaders should play a key role in building resilient business models and a sustainable economy. She was joined by Steve Roder, Founding Co-Chair of the Canadian A4S Network, who shared how his previous job as the CFO of Manulife inspired him to become an advocate for environmental, social and corporate governance reporting.
