A4S Academy

"It is not necessarily a choice between making money on the one hand and ‘doing the right thing' on the other. On the contrary, once it is recognized that ‘business as usual' is unsustainable it follows naturally that those organizations which start to develop resilient business models will be the ones that succeed. " HRH The Prince of Wales. OverviewThe Prince's Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) has a vision of a future where sustainable business is business as usual. HRH The Prince of Wales established A4S to transform finance to deliver a sustainable future. We do this by providing guidance and convening senior leadership. The A4S Academy is a CFO-sponsored programme, which empowers and equips finance teams with the skills needed for their businesses to succeed in the face of environmental and social risks and opportunities. The programme is for senior finance professionals. All sessions are being held online. The Academy is focused on practical implementation, with structured support provided for participants. The programme draws on leading practice and utilizes tools and guidance from the A4S Essential Guide Series developed by finance, for finance. Participants have access to a variety of knowledge-based materials, experienced practitioners and skills development sessions to support them through the year-long programme. Graduation from the Academy is dependent on completion of a short case study, evidencing the progress participants have made against their personal programme objectives. Academy graduates are invited to join the alumni network, where they will have ongoing access to events, support and a community of peers from whom they can continue to draw inspiration.
