ICAS Sustainability Panel

The ICAS Sustainability Panel aims to increase the awareness of ICAS and its members of current issues pertaining to environmental and other sustainability issues and to formulate the ICAS position on matters of environmental sustainability to the business community and the wider public.

The Panel achieves these aims by:

  • encouraging best practice amongst ICAS and its members on environmental sustainability and related corporate social responsibility issues;
  • identifying examples of guidance and information for ICAS and its members on environmental sustainability and related corporate social responsibility issues;
  • where appropriate, work with other organisations to share ideas, information, research and other resources;
  • encouraging ICAS to demonstrate its own commitment to environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility and to set an appropriate example to its members and the wider business community in these matters.
