The transformative role of Social Accounting
Wednesday 11 November 13:00 until 14:00
University of Sussex Campus : Jubilee Building, Room G32 & online
Speaker: Massimo Contrafatto – University of Sussex
Part of the series: Sustainability Mobiliser Group Seminar
Abstract:
The seminar will introduce the concept of social accounting, which is defined as the universe of all possible accountings through which social, economic and social activities could be measured, calculated and reported on. In particular, we will discuss how these accountings play an important constitutive and performative role in enabling change in the way of seeing, understanding and managing business, society and the environment. A specific case study will be presented, which explores the role of accounting in sustainable water management of a public organisation in Albania.
