In mid-April, Accounting for Sustainability—a nonprofit founded by the Prince of Wales—launched the first U.S. chapter of its global Chief Financial Officer Leadership Network.
The eight founding members of the networking group are all CFOs of large U.S. companies, including Salesforce.com Inc., Caterpillar Inc. and Levi Strauss & Co.
Members signed a charter that commits them to taking action and using their collective influence to engage, enable and collaborate with other CFOs and the broader business community to infuse sustainability into core strategy and business processes.
The networking group is the latest in a series of efforts by the global business community to tackle concerns about climate change, pollution and other environmental challenges.
