Researcher from the School of Accounting and Finance cautions that clear regulatory oversight is needed to protect investors.

The topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly popular in the investment world with sustainable investing creating a large global impact. This significant shift lead the School of Accounting and Finance's (SAF) Dr. Adam Vitalis and his co-authors to research how green labels attract investors to certain projects which can open the door to greenwashing. 

November marked a significant milestone in sustainability education as the University of Waterloo hosted the inaugural "Be the Future" conference for high school students, organized by the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF), the Faculty of Environment and Ontario DECA.

This unique event highlighted Waterloo's commitment to developing the next generation of leaders by inspiring students to explore the intersection of sustainability, social impact and economic growth.

For Global Entrepreneurship Week, the University of Waterloo is spotlighting some incredible entrepreneurs making a difference for humanity and our world.

School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) alum Jade Choy (BAFM ’17) co-founded Epoch alongside her brother Keith Choy (BAFM ’16, MAcc ’16) and close friend Michael Miller. Like many of her Accounting and Finance peers at Waterloo, Choy was on a more traditional career path — aiming for a future in management consulting. However, a side project related to non-profit work sparked a much larger idea, one that would eventually evolve into Epoch.
