Environmental education program for the Accounting and Finance career

Abstract

Environmental education plays a fundamental role in the training of professionals capable of performing their duties in complete harmony and respect for the environment. At the same time, they should serve as an example to their social environment by developing their activities with minimal impact. The objective was to design an environmental education program for the Accounting and Finance program at the Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca University of Pinar del Río. A diagnosis of the current situation in the program was conducted, and empirical methods of observation and measurement were used, applying the following techniques: interviews, surveys, and document review. This study revealed limited commitment, both individually and collectively, to minimizing environmental problems based on the practices of their profession. The result was an environmental education program for the Accounting and Finance program, taking into account non-personal didactic components and managing them through a subject called Environmental Management. This program contributes to achieving sustainable development through environmental protection and conservation within the current economic, political, and social context.
