ACCA's response to the EC's consultation on Sustainable Corporate Governance

ACCA welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the EC consultation on a Proposal for an Initiative on Sustainable Corporate Governance, and foremost agrees that sustainability needs to be further embedded into corporate governance frameworks. Covid-19 has forced companies to re-think their purpose and strategy for the long-term and now is a better time than ever to introduce more effective measures to make sure this happens, otherwise businesses will not be able to survive, thrive and make better impacts on people, the environment and society at large. As we have noted before, sustainable corporate governance is not only about compliance it is also about creating value and building a viable recovery.
