Sustainability and performance management education committee

Through this committee, CPA Canada gathers guidance, feedback, and expertise from CPAs and business professionals across industries on matters of sustainability and performance management education.

The Sustainability and Performance Management (SPM) Education Committee is a newly formed advisory group that will provide insights and advice on SPM education and professional development topics. It was formed to help our organization identify current trends and emerging needs in SPM as a growing area of practice for members and other business professionals. The committee will also leverage insights from the Foresight Initiative: Reimagining the Profession.

The primary focus of the committee will be to provide feedback on the development of training and resources that align with evolving competencies in the profession. This includes, but is not limited to, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, the impacts of climate change, financial reporting and assurance framework changes as they relate to sustainability; digital disruption and new technologies; and more.
