Corporate sustainability: Integrating performance and reporting

Abstract

Corporate Sustainability: Integrating Performance and Reporting sets out to integrate corporate sustainability performance and reporting, offering “guidance to organisations that focus on sustainability performance and accountability reporting”. Although the book often emphasizes information that is more useful to one reader group, it successfully provides information that is useful to many reader groups, including auditors, business schools and global sustainability professionals. Brockett and Rezaee have structured the book into three parts. Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) is an introduction to sustainability performance, reporting and assurance. Part 2 (Chapters 4-9) discusses five dimensions of sustainability – economic, governance, social, ethical and environmental – and provides an overview chapter as well as one chapter for each of the dimensions. Part 3 (Chapters 10-11) discusses emerging issues in sustainability performance, reporting and assurance.
