SUSTAINABILITY SPOTLIGHT | ISSUE 1 – APRIL 2023
Welcome to the first issue of Sustainability Spotlight, our global sustainability publication, sharing key insights from our sustainability experts around the world, to help you make better business decisions for the future. From business leadership issues such as the role tax plays in ESG and understanding the board’s ESG mandate, to core sustainability themes such as the circular economy and sustainability standards, our professionals unpack pressing issues in the sustainability and ESG arena. Smart companies are discovering that it is no longer a choice between choosing a more sustainable path and growing long-term profits – sustainability is the path to prosperity. For both business and humanitarian reasons, it is imperative that all organisations act now and embrace the benefits of sustainable business practices. Sustainability is fundamental to the creation of a world that is resilient, equitable and allows everyone to thrive. We need to change the way we live, work and play... the time has come for our actions to be bold and uncompromising. The BDO organisation has committed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, and we have embarked on a journey to measure our carbon footprint and set science-based emissions targets. Many of our clients are following a similar path and, as trusted advisers, we will offer support and guidance, and share our learnings. As you read this publication, I encourage you to reflect on your own role in promoting sustainability and to think about actions you can take now to support a more sustainable future.
