The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has joined the government's effort on September 2 to plant 1.5 million trees. The ACCA pointed out in a statement that: "To minimise the impact on the environment and to save trees ACCA along with its huge network of affiliates, students, members and partners etc. withdrew the paper based exams and all of the examinations are now on a Computer Based platform which is in line with our sustainability agenda. Small actions make a big impact - by shifting to CBE means less wastage of paper i.e. trees."

ACCA Pakistan commented, "ACCA qualified accountants have a clear role when it comes to influencing the government on sustainability related matters and they have a deep understanding of the interdependence of social, environmental and economic issues."-PR
