Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) publishes CFO Leadership Network guide to Strategic Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting

Pennon Group Plc is one of the main supporters and contributors to the CFO Leadership Network guide to Strategic Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting, launched today (April 10 2018) by the Accounting for Sustainability Project, which was established by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2004 to inspire action by finance leaders to drive a fundamental shift towards resilient business models and a sustainable economy.

The new guide is designed to help finance teams 'navigate the complexity of a changing world by providing tools, practical examples and guidance on how to integrate sustainability into strategic planning, budgeting and forecasting'.

Pennon was one of a number of major organizations which took part in the project to produce the guide, identifying key benefits such as:

  • identifying sustainable opportunities and risks
  • driving investment for long term success
  • aligning performance management with long term value drivers
  • reducing cost
  • providing brand benefits
  • encouraging better employee and customer engagement

Susan Davy, CFO, Pennon Group and South West Chair of the CBI says:

'Social and environmental trends are now dominating companies' future risk outlook, so we need to be thinking about how these issues are going to impact us in the future and factoring them into the heart of our strategic planning process.'
