ACCA’s brand new Professional Diploma in Sustainability is leading the way.
“There’s a burning desire for organisations to upskill in all areas of sustainability. There’s still a lack of experience across finance teams in understanding how they must respond.”
“Our role in finance is to lead the change, to help businesses enact compliant sustainability strategies. It’s critical that finance teams develop greater understanding and maturity in this space.”
Michael Mills, Jaguar Land Rover, UK
“There’s a growing need for training and development in sustainability across all areas of businesses – from the CEO to new members of the finance team.”
“The need is both for the wider perspective of how organisations need to approach sustainability, and the more technical areas of reporting and assurance.”
Grant Thornton, Ireland
“Training, development and a global assessment in sustainability are all critical. We have introduced a new strategy for our organisation, and from 2026 we will start to issue ESG reports in line with local regulations.”
“The flexibility of the learning modules allows us to integrate them easily into our corporate training, to make preparing for change a seamless process.”
John Li, Wilo, China
“Sustainability will become an important compliance engagement for accountancy firms. Environmental literacy is going to be key, and firms need formal training.”
“Accountancy firms need support in understanding new sustainability standards and their impact, as well as what systems and processes we need to establish to be ready for these changes.”
Eddie O’Shea, Chair of ACCA Irish Practitioner member panel
