Sustainability reporting has been an important topic for more than two decades. The demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures has grown with the public awareness of such issues. At the same time, more and more governmental organizations, industry groups, and corporations are voluntarily producing sustainability reports in order to project an image of social responsibility. Reporting on sustainability has become so important to stakeholders that it has evolved into a marketing tool, to the extent that some companies advertise green initiatives in order to win public acceptance, even if their day-to-day activities do not reflect those practices (Jahdi and Acikdilli 2009; full citations are available in the sidebar, References).
