“为了提供‘theArena17’，Beyond Green正在启动一项雄心勃勃的研发项目，该项目将通过为会计师提供可信赖的可持续业务保证工具来改变会计行业。这将使他们能够为需要整体业务数据分析以提高资源效率、遵守能源和碳报告并根据17个可持续发展目标等全球标准证明其可持续性的未上市公司提供新的服务。arena17将增加会计师的业务工具包和技能，同时利用他们的分析技能，有助于减少其核心服务自动化对工作的影响；越来越多的云会计和数字报告推动了自动化。这将使会计行业成为为企业提供社会和环境建议的领导者。会计行业可以通过将其服务范围扩大到考虑到全球趋势向环境和社会绩效透明指标转变的业务分析来承受自动化。Beyond Green由一名特许会计师创立，是引领这一变革的最佳人选。我们是一家经过认证的B型企业，在为500多家非上市公司提供业务可持续发展建议方面有着良好的记录，每年节省600万英镑的成本，减少23,100吨二氧化碳当量，并为会计师事务所及其客户提供资源效率研讨会。TheArena17将允许未上市公司了解其可持续性证书，并将其传达给投资者/利益相关者。自动化将使所有英国企业都能获得宝贵的服务。”

"To offer 'theArena17', Beyond Green is starting an ambitious R&D project which will transform the accountancy industry by providing accountants with a trusted sustainable business assurance tool. It will allow them to offer new services to unquoted companies which need holistic business data analysis to improve resource efficiency, comply with energy & carbon reporting and evidence their sustainability credentials against global standards, such as the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Adding to the accountant's business toolkit and skill set, whilst drawing on their analytical skills, theArena17 will help reduce impacts on jobs from the automation of their core services; automation driven by the growing uptake of cloud-accounting and digital reporting. This will position the accountancy industry as a leader in social and environmental advice for businesses. The accountancy industry can withstand automation by broadening the scope of their services to business analysis that takes into account shifts in global trends towards transparent indicators of environmental and social performance. Beyond Green, founded by a Chartered Accountant, is well placed to lead this transformation. We are a certified B Corp business with a track record in business sustainability advice delivered to over 500 unquoted companies with annual identified cost savings of £6m, and 23,100tCO2e, and the delivery of resource efficiency workshops for Accountancy firms and their clients. TheArena17 will allow unquoted companies to understand their sustainability credentials and communicate them to investors/stakeholders. The automation will give all British businesses access to valuable services not widely available."
