Synopsis

The issue of sustainability has become increasingly important at a global level, prompting governments, international organizations, and private and public organizations to seek ways to contribute to sustainable development. However, the lack of accountability and transparency in organizations has made it difficult to identify, measure, and disclose their sustainable practices and impacts. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus on the determinants and impacts of the extent and quality of non-financial information reporting. Enhancing Sustainability Through Non-Financial Reporting is a book edited by Albertina Monteiro, Ana Pinto Borges, and Elvira Vieira that offers a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between sustainability/ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices and reporting, and the accounting, finance, and management fields. The book provides a high-quality vehicle for the dissemination of new knowledge and tendencies, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. It welcomes and encourages articles from both academics and practitioners, with empirical and theoretical articles accepted to reach various audiences and a diversity of topics. The book aims to better understand the contributions of organizations to sustainable development, the level, determinates, and impacts of non-financial information reporting, the impact of sustainability reporting standards on the extent and quality of non-financial reporting, and the role and challenges of accounting, finance, management, and auditing. It is an essential resource for academics and practitioners in accounting, finance, and management, as well as other interested groups and individuals seeking to enhance sustainability through non-financial reporting.
