Philip Turnbull, AIA Chief Executive, added: “AIA is firmly committed to educating it members in green finance, so it is with great pleasure we welcome Peter to our Council.
“Peter’s sustainability related expertise will support and further strengthen AIA’s offering to members.”
Since achieving his doctorate in 2021 Peter has been focusing on how Accountancy and Accountants need to change to face the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, responsible purchasing & supply and the related economic & social change.
