This month’s issue has a sustainability flavour, as business and governments digest the takeaways from the COP 27 meeting.
Our main interview is with Ronnie Delaney FCCA, CEO of telecoms and energy infrastructure specialist Obelisk. He explains how communication and collaboration are central to creating innovative solutions to sustainability challenges.
This is becoming a matter of urgency, as our article on recent research outlines. While companies have got better at disclosing details of the climate risks they face, they remain slow at taking action on addressing the environmental impact of their operations.
That’s becoming a hot topic for governments globally, and we have a feature on how accountants can help their clients understand how developments in climate change taxes, incentives and pricing will affect them.
One way to cut a company’s carbon footprint is to opt for remote working. Columnist Ian Guider examines the steps businesses can take to ensure an equal workplace when there is a mix of home and in-office employees.
And with the cost-of-living crisis affecting employees, customers and suppliers, AB looks at the strategies companies are adopting to help mitigate the impact of rising interest rates and inflation.
Accountants play a key role in these and many other business decisions, so it is no surprise to learn their skills are in demand. ACCA’s new members’ event heard from a recruitment specialist about just how highly that expertise is valued.
