On 29 September, ICAEW held the first Account Fest 2030, a festival-style virtual event that brought together people from across the profession to visualise what the world will look like in 2030. Our mainstage speakers provided thought provoking insights into how we can come together to achieve the UN sustainable development goals, and why accountants have the power to lead on this action.
Watch the recordings to hear a fireside chat between Charmain Love, Co-founder of B Lab UK and Gonzalo Munoz, UN High Level Champion for Chile, and inspiring talks from Kathryn Haynes, Professor of Accounting at Northumbria University, and Max Forshaw, Associate in Climate Risk and Decarbonisation at KPMG.
