Watch tomorrow’s episode of The Shift Asia. I’ll be speaking about the eight-stage sustainability reporting cycle for creating sustainability-related information. The ACCA sustainability reporting guide encourages all ‘to start’ their journey. Organisations of all sizes need to start somewhere. Hopefully this guide becomes your ‘somewhere’, and you’ll ramp up efforts thereafter.  If you’re feeling overwhelmed, approach the guide by stages. The guide was designed to enable readers to approach each stage separately. There may be times to take two steps back to review progress and perhaps adjust the processes where necessary. So, if you don’t know where to start, watch this interview and read the sustainability reporting guide at https://lnkd.in/gTi4bpuG #AccountingForABetterWorld #sustainabilityreporting
