As global concerns around the environment, climate, and sustainability are moving to the forefront of consumer choices and business values, how organizations report on sustainability has become more crucial than ever before. Business sustainability issues are a major concern, with many firms seeking to contribute positively when serving their local communities and enhancing their corporate responsibility practices socially and environmentally.
International Perspectives on Sustainability Reporting presents business case studies from different sectors across different regions, highlighting the changing institutional contexts and laws in each country regarding sustainability reporting: for some, reporting is mandatory and for others it is voluntary. Taking not only the historical but also the firm level, sectoral, regional, political, and economic perspective, Buallay’s work is far-reaching and comprehensive, spanning from the history of environmental reporting to sustainable reporting in the tourism industry.
Tackling multidisciplinary topics that include finance, economics, sociology, law, governance, and organizational management, the methods deployed here are both qualitative and quantitative. International Perspectives on Sustainability Reporting is essential reading for both scholars and practitioners in all of these sectors as sustainability increases in importance across the board.
