Pioneering Impact: The Future of Business with Impact-Weighted Accounts
Together with experts, impact-driven CFOs and frontrunning impact enterprises, the Impact Economy Foundation launched the new version of the Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF), showing how impact accounting creates decision-ready information for managing impact and enriches the CSRD implementation.
IWAF enriches reporting standards (such as the CSRD) and helps organisations to make the shift from impact reporting to impact management. Only if companies manage their impact and steer on positive impact, a sustainable and socially just economy can be created.
On September 12th, we invited Paul Polman, Peter Bakker, Dr. Hao Liang, Leslie Kapin, Walter Bien, Gu Qing, Eric Buckens, Adrian de Groot Ruiz, and Werner Schouten to share their insights and expertise on impact accounting, demonstrating how the Impact-Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF) is helping businesses integrate impact into their decision-making processes.
