Investing in a greener tomorrow.

Our sustainability team helps you understand and implement available tax incentives that create economic growth for your company, while ensuring you remain in compliance with new regulations and reporting standards.

what is sustainability in business?

Sustainability in business means conducting operations to consciously avoid negative impacts to the environment and your surrounding community. The goal is to ensure that short-term profits don’t become long-term liabilities. Research shows that companies with high sustainability ratings have a lower cost of debt and equity, and that sustainability initiatives can improve financial performance while encouraging public support. In other words, “doing good” has a direct impact on your company’s ability to “do well.”

what does sustainability have to do with accounting?

Congress has enacted tax credit programs to encourage corporate responsibility through investment in sustainable practices that create jobs and reinvigorate communities. Under the new rules, taxpayers can qualify for significant credits to offset their federal income tax liability, while taxpayers with no federal tax liability can collect cash through direct payments from the IRS or the transfer of unused clean energy credits on the open market. There are a variety of credits available that may positively impact your tax strategy and, in turn, your ESG strategy. Your organization may also need to consider plans, policies, and operations to remain competitive with customers and compliant with regulators as state and federal bodies develop reporting requirements.
