Project Aims and Mission Statement

Overall aim of the Project

"To help ensure that sustainability - considering what we do not only in terms of ourselves and today, but also of others and tomorrow - is not just talked and worried about, but becomes embedded in organisations' "DNA"."

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales

Why this matters

The long term sustainability of many organisations, as well as the societies in which they operate, is threatened by trends such as climate change unless these longer term and broader consequences of actions are sufficiently factored into decisions taken now.

Our mission statement

The Prince's Accounting for Sustainability Project works with businesses, investors, the public sector, accounting bodies, NGOs and academics to develop practical guidance and tools for embedding sustainability into decision-making and reporting processes.

To date, the project has involved the collaboration of more than one hundred and fifty public and private sector organisations.
