2021 CARE Conference - Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing
Thank you for your continued interest in the Center and in Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing. We look forward to discussing the topic at the 2021 CARE Conference.
To safeguard the health and well-being of all conference participants and speakers, the 2021 CARE conference will be held virtually in 2021. This conference is the first of two conferences on the topic Accounting for Sustainability and Responsible Investing. The second, which will be held in 2022, at the University of Notre Dame, will focus on selected academic research papers that are based on discussions at this conference.
The conference will bring together accountants, finance-professionals, law-professionals, law-makers, standard-setters, economists, investors and scientists as well as academics from the sciences, accounting, finance, law and economics. As with all CARE conferences, the main goal will be to set a research agenda for many emerging scholars, which will address key issues related to accounting for sustainability and responsible investing. We anticipate your participation will bring much attention to these critical issues.
