Join Jeremy Nicholls, Co-Founder of SVI, to learn about his visionary new book that's landing on 23rd March.

'The Accounting Paradox: How financial accounting is damaging the world (but can help repair it)' explores how current accounting standards shape what is recognised as profit, which costs are excluded, and how this contributes to inequality, nature loss and climate breakdown.
