A strong focus on ESG is a business imperative for creating a thriving society and driving economic growth for a greener sustainable future
The importance of sustainable development has never been more pronounced
The world faces a range of pressing environmental, social and economic development challenges such as poverty, hunger, poor health, inadequate education, global warming, gender inequality, lack of access to water, poor sanitation, loss of biodiversity and social injustice
ESG risks are now one of the largest threats facing businesses and they could have a significant impact on businesses long-term performance and profitability, including their ability to raise new capital/funding
As Difference Makers, chartered accountants have a lead role to play in addressing these critical problems. The principal purpose of the Institute is to promote the common interests of members and associates and the public interest by enhancing the relevance, values, competence and influence of both in South Africa and abroad and to contribute to economic and social development in South Africa
SAICA established a consolidated sustainability programme to combine all sustainability-related initiatives. This assists with the quantification of the environmental impact, ensures effective engagement with members around sustainability, and provides appropriate learning and development opportunities to members, associates, learners, students and trainees. Representatives engage with stakeholders to influence standard-setting development and advocate for effective sustainability practices and reporting, as well as develop success measurement criteria for current initiatives and measuring progress
SAICA established a sustainability technical committee to support it in addressing the current and emerging sustainability aspects as these relate to members and the Institute, and to advocate on behalf of members for the new direction of corporate reporting globally and in South Africa. Additional Advocacy work has begun and will continue to take place in this new aspect of corporate reporting and compliance for members
