Welcome to Positive Perspectives on Accounting (PPoA), the virtual seminar series that explores the enabling role of accounting in society.

In this episode, PPoA hosts Roel Boomsma and Leona Wiegmann interview Ian Thomson about his research on accounting for sustainable development. Ian is Professor of accounting and sustainability at the University of Birmingham, Director of Lloyds Banking Group Centre for Responsible Business, and convenor of the Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR) council.

We talk to Ian about the role of accounting in facilitating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and discuss the importance of integrating interconnectivity between the SDGs into accounting for sustainable development.
