The Environmental and Sustainability Management Accounting Network (EMAN) Asia Pacific (AP) was established in 2001 by professionals and academics working towards the development and promotion of Sustainability Management Accounting. It is closely linked with the EMAN Global Network.The EMAN Global conferences aim to provide a venue for practitioners and academics to deliberate the latest developments in sustainability and sustainability management accounting. EMAN Global conferences are held all over the world to facilitate globally oriented, yet, locally focused knowledge sharing. This year’s conference in Colombo is hosted by the Department of Accounting of University of Sri Jayewardenepura, which is the premier academic accounting institution in Sri Lanka. It is an ideal platform for international accounting practitioners, academics and researchers who are interested in sustainability and its accounting implications to discuss how and to what extent environmental and sustainability management accounting (EMA) contributes to sustainability management in the Asia Pacific Region.
