The Prince's A4S

Accounting for Sustainability - Finance at the heart of sustainable progress

The Prince's Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) was established by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2004. Our aim is to make sustainable decision making business as usual. 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
