CPA Australia’s
statement of
commitment to net
zero emissions
22 ITB December 2021
AT A G L A N C E
An estimated 70 per cent
of the world’s carbon
emissions are generated
by the private and
industrial sectors.
Although the carbon
emissions curve has
flattened across all
geographic areas over the
past few years, this is not
sufficient to achieve the
global goal of limiting
temperature rises.
As governments assess options
such as incentives for investment
in new energy sources, there
is a strong case for accountants
and finance professionals to play
a significant role in assisting in
the rollout of sustainable
initiatives.
