Sustainability and accounting

Taking responsibility for the future

Sustainability plays a central role in our services. We see it as a crucial factor for business growth today and a better future tomorrow. Practical is committed to integrating sustainability into all our processes and services, offering clients a comprehensive module to measure their CO2 footprint based on their own financial administration data.

Why sustainability matters to us

As an accounting firm, we understand how the impact of financial decisions goes beyond profit and loss statements. Social and environmental issues are also key as we all recognise our responsibility to contribute to a just and liveable world for current and future generations.

By integrating sustainability into our internal processes and culture, Practical strives to set an example for other companies and demonstrate that it’s possible to combine economic success with social and environmental responsibility.

Benefits of sustainability for entrepreneurs

Sustainability is not only important to us as an accounting firm but also to our clients, entrepreneurs like you. Implementing sustainability practices in your business can offer numerous benefits in both the short and long term.

Our sustainability module:
Measuring your carbon footprint

As part of our comprehensive service offer, Practical clients have access to a special module that measures their CO2 footprint using financial administration data. By combining this data with environmental performance indicators, we gain insight into the ecological impact of your company and develop targeted sustainability strategies.

Identify and change

Our module analyses data such as energy consumption, transportation, raw material use and waste to obtain a detailed picture of your company's CO2 emissions. These insights enable us to work together to identify focused measures to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and save costs.

Reports and goals

Additionally, we can support you in preparing sustainability reports, implementing sustainability initiatives and tracking progress. We are committed to helping our clients achieve their sustainability goals and build a future-proof business.

Making a difference together

Sustainability is important for our clients for several reasons. Here are some key points on why sustainability should matter and how our firm can make a difference.

Insight into environmental risks and opportunities

We offer sustainability as an integral part of our services. This helps you identify and understand environmental risks and opportunities that may impact your business performance. For example, measuring the CO2 footprint and other environmental performance indicators allows our team to provide insights into a company’s ecological impact and recommend strategies for you to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Sustainability standards and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, with companies facing greater pressure to meet these requirements. We support our clients with information about relevant sustainability laws and regulations and guide them in implementing appropriate measures to comply with these requirements.
