The True & Fair Project challenges how profit is calculated by revealing the hidden costs behind it - like carbon use, water consumption, and unpaid labour. These costs may not show up on a balance sheet, but society pays the price.

Hosted by SVI, the Project supports the inclusion of these impacts and dependencies in financial statements, using existing legal and accounting frameworks around the world to present a true and fair view.

Who is this for?

Company directors
to strengthen the resilience of businesses by deciding when and how to disclose hidden costs in financial statements

Investors
and investor networks

to help manage the risks arising from the impacts and dependencies within portfolios

Accountants
and accounting bodies
to provide guidance that explores existing, relevant legislation and accounting standards
