In 2030, ICAEW will be acknowledged as having made a leading contribution over many years to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and promote peace and prosperity around the world by having mobilised its own expertise and influence, and that of its members and partners, to analyse, articulate and address economic and business challenges.
The Professional Standards Department (PSD) contributes to the systematic creation of sustainable economies by encouraging our members and firms to operate under the SDGs.
We aim to maximise the use of staff’s sustainability days to support a vast variety of charitable work. We continuously form and maintain relationships with charities and support these wherever possible.
We champion ICAEW’s £100,000 social mobility fund which is used by the Milton Keynes Community Foundation (MKCF) to support projects which improve social mobility in the black communities. These projects provide support and inspiration to those with aspiration and ability but are disadvantaged. Initiatives will include life skills development, particularly relating to finance and business, and encouraging further studies such as professional qualifications and peer group learning.
