CPA Australia Sustainability Actions

Built ESG learning resources

CPA Australia has created a wide set of ESG learning tools for members. These include micro-credentials, webinars, podcasts, and short courses on topics like ESG fundamentals, reporting and disclosure, greenhouse gas accounting, AI ethics, and climate risk. A micro-credential is a short course that gives proof of a specific skill. The organisation says these resources are meant to help accountants understand sustainability rules and apply them in real work.

Published ESG guidance and research

CPA Australia has published ESG tools, policy notes, white papers, and research reports for members and clients. The material covers climate policy, modern slavery, future reporting frameworks, and climate-related risk. It also includes research on ESG adoption in Asia Pacific businesses and on climate reporting in Singapore. This shows the organisation is not only teaching ESG basics, but also helping shape how reporting and compliance are understood in practice.

Set a net zero pathway

CPA Australia has published a Net Zero Emissions Pathway for its own organisation. Net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions as far as possible and balancing the rest. The pathway says the organisation will work on greener energy, less waste, better energy efficiency, tracking travel emissions, and looking at supply chain emissions. It also says progress will be shared through the website and annual integrated report.

Joined climate action network

In 2021, CPA Australia joined 13 other professional accounting bodies in a global call to action on climate change through the Accounting Bodies Network. The group said accountants have a key role in responding to climate risk because they work across many parts of the economy. This action links the profession to wider climate work and shows CPA Australia taking part in a shared international effort rather than acting alone.

Ran ESG conferences and webinars

CPA Australia has held conferences and webinar series focused on sustainability and ESG. These events cover topics such as systems thinking, climate reporting, biodiversity, social impact, and ethical governance. Systems thinking means looking at how different issues connect instead of treating them separately. The events are aimed at helping accountants and finance professionals understand how sustainability affects business strategy, reporting, and assurance.
