From Gray to Green Accounting

It can be too easy to focus on the now and ignore the contribution of foundational texts that have shaped and to continue to shape our scholarship. This essay is a personal plea to revisit The Greening of Profession. Not in a backward facing homage to the passing of Rob, but to appreciate the scope and spirit of this work in order to infuse our work with a similar pioneering and problematising intent. This text played a critical role in the professional and academic legitimation of social and environmental accounting and in my opinion, captures the essential essence of Rob's impact on our field.
