🔔 Happening now! Ben Carpenter, CEO of Social Value International is presenting the True & Fair Project at the Capitals Coalition #AccountingforValue conference. We're calling for a financial system that actually accounts for the real world, one where companies recognise the true cost of doing business. The True & Fair Project shows that this isn't just desirable, but already possible under existing accounting standards. If profit is to remain our primary decision-making tool, it must reflect the full picture. #TrueAndFair #ImpactAccounting #Sustainability #CapitalsCoalition #FfD4 #ConstructiveObligations #Externalities
