Our Planet: Too Big To Fail
ICAEW is the first major professional body to announce we are becoming carbon neutral – we are offsetting all of our emissions and working towards shrinking our carbon footprint. As part of our ongoing commitment, ICAEW has created the Sustainability and Climate Change Community that seeks to provide inspiration, insights and collective ambition for professionals delivering on sustainability and acting on climate change.
ICAEW has supported the World Wide Fund for Nature to spread the message of the importance of the finance sector in the fight to restore our natural economy.
Our Planet: Too Big To Fail is a story that everyone in finance needs to know. Inspired by the original Netflix Our Planet series and created by Emmy® Award-winning Silverback Films and WWF, Our Planet: Too Big To Fail explores the risks of inaction, the impact of investing-as-usual, and the critical role the finance sector can play in the fight for our world.

“One of Deloitte Vietnam’s main focus is to invest in talent development to achieve our objective of sustainable development. We highly value candidates who possess internationally recognised qualifications such as ICAEW ACA and ICAEW CFAB due to the fact that they have not only a solid background knowledge but also sound skills set that help them perform their tasks effectively and efficiently.

“The CFAB qualification gave me a broad and robust perspectives surrounding business and finance and ultimately, provided a proper step up system toward the full ACA qualification. What I really enjoy about being an ICAEW student was the regular student events where I meet with other students. Finding a job will be much easier with ICAEW certification as there are many employers who recognise this certification.”
