Green Finance & Sustainability
Green Finance Education Charter
The government, the Green Finance Institute, and a number leading financial professional bodies, including AIA, are signatories of the green finance education charter, designed to embed green finance and sustainability into the core curricula, new qualifications, and the continued professional development of accountants.
Each of the signatories acknowledge the collective responsibility of the global community including the banking, finance and professional services sectors to deliver Article 2.1c of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Green Finance Education
AIA is committed to educating its members in green finance.
We have brought together a team of experts to provide a series of three workshops to ensure members are ready to operate in a low carbon/net-zero world.
The series starts by looking at issues which are being faced not only by companies but by individuals. These issues range from climate change to social inequalities and are constantly being raised, yet so many people are not taking them seriously. Why?
Climate change is probably the biggest threat to human kind and has brought World Leaders together in a display of co-operation to make the necessary changes. But how are they doing this?
The accountancy profession has a huge part to play as companies look towards calculating carbon footprints and how to plan for net-zero. Sustainability accounting standards are being considered globally to bring the profession into line with each other.
Understanding Economic, Social and Governance risks, opportunities and reporting are essential for a business to thrive in today’s world!
In recognition of the importance of green finance we are offering open access to the above three workshops.
The Commonwealth
As a Commonwealth accredited organisation, AIA adheres to the values and principles embedded in Commonwealth Declarations, notably the Singapore Declaration on Commonwealth Principles (1971) and the Harare Commonwealth Declaration (1991), which outlines a commitment to promoting democracy and good governance, human rights and the rule of law, gender equality and sustainable economic and social development.
The Commonwealth helps member countries protect their environments and use their natural resources sustainably and operates a number of environmental programmes.
