Accountability in a Sustainable World Conference

Now in its 4th year, the 2024 Accountability in a Sustainable World Conference, the flagship event of ASWQ, continues to ask the hard questions and delve deeper into regulation, sustainability reporting, capital allocation, and performance metrics. The ongoing conversation will answer the immediate need for dialogue among academics and non-academics about sustainability, data and measurement, related assurance, high-quality information to inform responsible investment decisions, and accountability in setting personal, corporate, and public sector goals.

This conference will focus on key concerns regarding assurance of a sustainable future: the changing sustainability reporting landscape, the politicization of ESG, accounting for sustainability with a particular emphasis on carbon accounting, measurement and assurance, performance metrics, the new corporate focus on sustainability, the effects of carbon footprint information on consumer choice and thoughts from a younger generation. A main feature of the conference is the discourse between academics and non-academics, featuring high-profile, well-informed, often provocative speakers. Join us on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
