Accountants can play an important and multifaceted role in promoting and reporting sustainability for their clients.
From their position of influence and with their expertise in reporting and disclosure, performance measurement, and in providing data-driven insights to facilitate informed decision-making, accountants are well-placed to support their clients in their ESG journey.
In this episode, we speak with Nicki Lynn, International Business Development Manager at global independent accountancy network, MGI Worldwide.
Nicki discusses the role of the accountancy profession in encouraging ESG best practice, and explains how MGI Worldwide approaches social and environmental responsibility not only in their own organisation, but also for their member firms, and their clients' businesses. She outlines many of the numerable measures and processes that they have in place to communicate, promote and embed ESG values into their work, including their Women Who Lead scheme and global ESG group. We delve into the challenges and opportunities that arise when committing to do better and Nicki provides her insights into varying approaches towards corporate responsibility and sustainability globally.
