Cancelled: Accounting for Sustainability seminar
The seminar series Accounting for Sustainability (AfS) is organised by Theresa Harrer and Othmar Lehner at the Hanken Centre for Accounting, Finance and Governance and regularly brings together researchers, students, and practitioners from different disciplines to discuss issues related to ESG investing and reporting, as well as the practice of sustainability accounting. The aim of the AfS series is not only to dig deeper into important questions, but also to develop an international community of peers who seek to develop solutions and develop the field and practice of sustainability accounting!
