Meeting of the Environmental and Sustainability Management Accounting Network

In order to support companies in better understanding both the environmental and financial consequences of their material and energy use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a standard on Material Flow Cost Accounting, that was released in September 2011. In order to motivate research on this topic the conference theme of The Environmental and Sustainability Management Accounting Network on March, 21–22 2013 hosted by the Chair of Environmental Management and Accounting at Technische Universitaet Dresden in Germany will be “Material Flow Cost Accounting” followed by a special issue of the Journal of Cleaner Production. By announcing this special issue almost two years in advance we want to encourage the scientific community to start projects.
