Focused exchanges between expert practitioners advance good ideas and drive progress.
Based in Edinburgh, the award-winning Ethical Finance Round Table series is the longest-running platform in ethical finance, bringing together the leaders in the field to enable learning and build community. Since establishing the series in 2010, we have seen opportunities flourish amongst the participants in the Round Tables. The Ethical Finance Round Table Series is currently being held virtually.
Next event:
Ethical Finance Round Table
1 Dec from 12:00 GMT; CA House, 21 Haymarket Yards, Edinburgh
Hosted by ICAS, our next EFRT will welcome Jeremy Nicholls, author of The Accounting Paradox, to explore how traditional financial accounting shapes our understanding of value, profit and business success.
The discussion will examine the limitations of current accounting practices in capturing social and environmental impacts, and consider how rethinking the way we measure value can support more sustainable business models, better decision-making and a more resilient economy.
