Accounting for Sustainability – embedding sustainability in business
LS&Co.’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Harmit Singh, joined chief financial officers from three other companies to launch the U.S. chapter of Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), an organization seeking to mobilize financial leaders and promote the business case for sustainability. Harmit Singh has served as the U.S. Co-Chair since 2021. LS&Co. is actively involved in A4S, routinely hosting and participating in U.S. and global workshops on a variety of sustainability matters.
A4S aims to inspire action by finance leaders to drive a fundamental shift toward resilient business models and a sustainable economy. This includes integrating sustainability into financial decision making, scaling action across the global finance and accounting community and forging close collaborations between finance and sustainability teams. We are committed to knowledge sharing and have worked with A4S on case studies to provide our insights on sustainable investing and sustainability data substantiation.
