Sustainability Hub
Sustainability reporting will not be confined to large companies, and we are already seeing SMEs being asked to verify their sustainability credentials within the supply chain of larger companies and when tendering for public contracts.

To support CPAs in providing that transparency and trust, both knowledge and credentials are, we believe, essential. CPAs already possess the core technical skills to lead in the domain of sustainability reporting and CPA Ireland is delivering the knowledge advantage through the development and launch of this Sustainability Hub.

This initiative follows on from and builds upon CPA Ireland’s leadership positions in Digitalisation and in Wellbeing, and the Sustainability Hub will provide knowledge across all aspects of sustainability that are relevant to CPAs and to the businesses you advise.

  • The member is responsible for adding these hours to their CPD record for their annual return, they will not be added automatically.
