Audience: Finance teams – finance & accounting professionals working in internal business roles (including CFOs, finance directors, financial analysts, report preparers and internal auditors) — as well as sustainability teams. (ideally, a finance lead and a sustainability lead from the same company participate together)

Focus:  Nature is fast becoming a core strategic management issue for businesses, affecting financial performance, competitiveness and long-term resilience. This session will help corporate finance teams understand the central role they play in enabling their company to respond and practical actions they can take to get started. It will cover:

• The business case for nature: how nature-related risks and opportunities impact financial performance, value and resilience.

• Deep dives into how to embed nature (and nature-related information) into the activities and processes of the finance function, and how this can support decision making and resilient business strategies.

• Discuss real-world examples (case studies) where businesses have already made progress.

Format: Online – includes presentations and interactive discussion.

Organized by ICAEW in collaboration with WBCSD. The training session has limited places available.
