Continuing our series on Sustainability I am joined this week by Fiona Graham from the IFB. We discuss a really important consultation that the UK Government are undertaking on audit and governance reforms. You can read more about that here: https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fconsultations%2Frestoring-trust-in-audit-and-corporate-governance-proposals-on-reforms&data=04%7C01%7CRuss%40familybusinesspartnership.com%7Ca7238dc5d6664595d17908d9326f727b%7Ced114aa32143426d8a82e3851f091c9a%7C0%7C0%7C637596276687567492%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=3Q99AcseaazWrWf%2Bz0MmQd7X6ArPPN1Udo4MMoebDWE%3D&reserved=0 (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/restoring-trust-in-audit-and-corporate-governance-proposals-on-reforms)  If you would like to respond to the consultation you can do so by following this link: https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeisgovuk.citizenspace.com%2Fbusiness-frameworks%2Faudit-and-corporate-governance-review&data=04%7C01%7CRuss%40familybusinesspartnership.com%7Ca7238dc5d6664595d17908d9326f727b%7Ced114aa32143426d8a82e3851f091c9a%7C0%7C0%7C637596276687577443%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=ubnjN%2FpYjcjJ5Hicj4K1POTuw0X3Lk9OvwDSh5%2BqCY4%3D&reserved=0 (https://beisgovuk.citizenspace.com/business-frameworks/audit-and-corporate-governance-review) We also discuss the recent IFB conference and how many of the firms that both spoke and attended the conference have sustainability very high on their agenda. We also cover many of the challenges that families have in this area and the resources that are available to help. Much of the focus around sustainability is on 'big' business and it can sometimes feel as though smaller businesses are left to their own devices. With this in mind the UK Government have launched a campaign called "Together for our Planet" and you can find out more about that here: https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fcalling-all-small-businesses-to-lead-the-charge-to-net-zero&data=04%7C01%7CRuss%40familybusinesspartnership.com%7Ca7238dc5d6664595d17908d9326f727b%7Ced114aa32143426d8a82e3851f091c9a%7C0%7C0%7C637596276687597352%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Uj9HA2vHOwDDB6uFV1tT35a0ZS%2BPKhB3QWaGq0DF8NI%3D&reserved=0 (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/calling-all-small-businesses-to-lead-the-charge-to-net-zero) If you missed the IFB's TEDx event you can catch all the sessions from that here: https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifb.org.uk%2Fresources%2Ffor-owners%2Ftedxinstituteforfamilybusiness-family-business-as-a-force-for-good%2F&data=04%7C01%7CRuss%40familybusinesspartnership.com%7Ca7238dc5d6664595d17908d9326f727b%7Ced114aa32143426d8a82e3851f091c9a%7C0%7C0%7C637596276687597352%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=DwfEGG2wPVEb4dAiBUf%2FIVMby2mPUKxEQ5UTZczjiOU%3D&reserved=0 (https://www.ifb.org.uk/resources/for-owners/tedxinstituteforfamilybusiness-family-business-as-a-force-for-good/)​ Work With Russ If what I have spoken about in the show resonates and you want to discuss how I can help you and your family business drop me an email: russ@familybusinesspartnership.com or head over to www.familybusinesspartnership.com Sign up to the Newsletter You can get podcasts, videos and blogs delivered directly to your inbox by signing up to the newsletter.
