Vice President Al Gore to Speak at ACCA Event in Hong Kong

Vice President Al Gore, one of the world’s best known campaigners on environmental issues, is to speak at a major event organised by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) in Hong Kong in August. 

The 45th Vice President of the United States, whose documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, won an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at this year’s Annual Academy Awards, will be speaking on the linkages between climate change, ethics and sustainability to an audience of leading business people and politicians from Hong Kong SAR, Mainland China and across the Asia Pacific Region.

The exclusive event is taking place in Hong Kong’s Conrad Hotel on 9 August and is the highlight of a series of global events organised by ACCA throughout 2007 which focus on professionalism and ethics.

Allen Blewitt, ACCA Chief Executive, said, “We are delighted that Vice President Gore has agreed to work with ACCA to highlight the importance of ethical and sustainable businesses at a time when serious business leaders are focussing on global issues like climate change. ACCA has been campaigning for over 15 years for organisations to measure and manage their activities, thereby ensuring more sustainable businesses. To have Vice President Gore, the world’s leading environmental champion, speaking at our event, reinforces our commitment to this critical issue.”
