Accounting as an academic discipline has not made any real strides
in addressing social and environmental concerns facing this planet.
Since the first volume of the series was published in 2000, there
have been no changes in the focus of accounting and it is still
taught and practiced in the same way.
Social/environmental/sustainability accounting is still a fringe
subject despite the fact that ignoring environmental issues has
serious consequences for the survival of this planet. Unless social
and environmental accounting is formally recognized, firms will
continue to view it as a means to convey information that enables
them to manage their reputation without actually making any real
efforts to improve the environment. The papers included in this
volume discuss different aspects of sustainability, environmental
performance, and environmental disclosures. Overall, it is fairly
obvious from these papers that firms are aware of the impact of
their activities on the environment. Some of the papers analyze
what firms do about environmental issues and how these activities
and their impact on the environment are disclosed in the financial
statements. Though the papers come to different conclusions, it
becomes clear from these studies that firms have problems in
managing the impact of their environmental activities as well as in
disclosing full and realistic information on these activities.
Thus, it appears from these papers that firms manage their message
to look good to outsiders.
