(Completed October 2009)

In response to the fact that the increasingly serious and complex environmental and social issues in today’s world would require the strict attention and concern of businesses and investment communities, CAPA conducted a survey on environmental accounting and corporate social responsibility.

The survey project, lead by the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants with a task force chaired by Dr. Takeshi Mizuguchi, aims to stimulate CAPA member bodies activities on environmental accounting/CSR issues and sharing such information with all member bodies.

The findings were published in a main survey report released on 31 October 2009 at a forum in Beijing, China.  Click on the links below to access the report and forum materials.
