The Advisory Game-Changer: IFAC Launches Trailblazing Tool for Small Businesses
The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), in collaboration with the Edinburgh Group (EG), has launched a pioneering online tool designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) maximise the benefits of incorporating sustainability into their strategy and business operations.
Developed specifically for IFAC and EG members to provide to their own members, The Small Business Sustainability Checklist is an interactive tool that provides practical steps to future-proof businesses and boost sustainability practices. It can be tailored by each business according to its industry sector, lifecycle, and products and services.
The innovative resource uses a simple self-assessment approach to score users’ sustainability initiatives across environmental factors, social responsibility, and governance. It helps users identify risks and opportunities, which can inform a roadmap for improvement.
This checklist is a practical tool to help small businesses benchmark and track their sustainability efforts, providing the resources and guidance to help them take the first step or make progress.
The tool is now available via IFAC’s website on:
