Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) was established by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2004. Our aim is to transform finance to make sustainable business, business as usual. A4S aims to inspire action by finance leaders to drive a fundamental shift towards resilient business models and a sustainable economy. We do this by providing guidance and convening senior leadership.
We work with the finance and accounting community to:
• Inspire finance leaders to adopt sustainable and resilient business models
• Transform financial decision making to enable an integrated approach, reflective of the opportunities and risks posed by environmental and social issues
• Scale up action across the global finance and accounting community

We have three global networks:
• Chief Financial Officer Leadership Network: Chief Financial Officers from leading organizations seeking to transform finance and accounting
• Accounting Bodies Network (ABN): global accounting bodies whose members comprise approximately two thirds of the world’s accountants
• Asset Owners Network: Pension Fund Chairs exploring the relevance of material social and environmental risks and opportunities with peers
