Stakeholder Reporting Committee
After three years of its establishment, the Stakeholder Reporting Committee (SRC) is looking for candidates to cover vacancies and organise the necessary turnover in some of the current members.
The mission of the committee is to actively participate in the debate about how organisations can, and should, inform their wide range of stakeholders about their activities, including their impact on society and planet. It focuses on the non-financial or sustainability reporting. Further, given that non-financial information is increasingly attracting the interest of policy makers and standard setters, our committee also aims to create awareness of the policy issues amongst our membership, and to collaborate with policy makers and standard setters with a view to allowing the academic community’s research expertise to have an impact on emerging policies and standards.
In line with the EAA governance guidelines (https://eaa-online.org/app/uploads/2021/12/CG-5-Nov-2021.pdf), the Chair and the Members are appointed for a 3-year term, renewable once.
The composition of the Committee should reflect – as far as possible – the diversity of the EAA community, for example in terms of (but not limited to) gender, age, and geographical affiliation. The committee should also reflect a diverse range of research perspectives.
Prior expertise in terms of research and policy commitments related to sustainability reporting is welcome. A suitable candidate is also expected to work collegially within the SRC and with other EAA Committees. All members of the Committee should be current EAA members.
Please submit your application via email to Baha Diyarov (baha.diyarov@eiasm.be) including: (1) your updated CV (2) a motivation letter indicating why you are applying for the position and containing a brief explanation of why you consider yourself to be qualified for the position.
The deadline to submit your application is December 1, 2023. In keeping with the EAA’s Governance Guidelines, this call for applications is the first stage in the selection process. Following a review of the applications, the EAA Management Committee will, in collaboration with the Chair, select and appoint the members of the Committee.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the SRC Chair Begoña Giner at begona.giner@uv.es
