1.3 Accounting for the Common Good

Abstract

The focus of this stream lies not preliminary on what goes on inside a company but on resources and values in-between – or surrounding – organizations; as commons, commoning and the common good. Instead of putting the business organization at the center we seek contributions that put common resources and goods at the center. We believe that this starting point will make it possible to have rich and fruitful discussions concerning how business actors and others are/ or could be involved in sustainable management of shared resources and values. Especially when it comes to possibilities to create a ”good balance sheet” that includes what usually is externalized in traditional financial accounts.
