In a context of growing social and environmental concerns, the role
of large enterprises and corporations in encouraging sustainability
has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Both academic
debates and public-opinion research have called into question the
extended responsibilities of firms in our increasingly
inter-connected world. By studying issues associated with the
greatest challenges mankind is currently facing - from climate
change to social exclusion - the scientific community is aware of
the need to account for the actions and agendas of companies,
especially large ones. They are becoming important global political
actors with great power, but also unprecedented responsibilities.
With this in mind, the authors believe that it is more important
than ever that large enterprises, on the one hand, take into
account the opinion of their stakeholder while defining their
strategies and, on the other hand, disclose material and relevant
information on their ability to contribute to sustainability while
delivering value for all of their stakeholders. A consensus is
being reached on the responsibility of large enterprises to report
in a triple bottom perspective - not only on their financial
performances, but also on their social and environmental outcomes.
Consequently, it is important to understand what elements
organizations need to report on in order to provide stakeholders
with relevant and comprehensive sustainability reports. Against
this background, this book presents a significant and original
contribution, both empirically and theoretically, to the social and
environmental accounting literature by studying the various
features of stakeholder engagement in sustainability reporting.
