The issue of sustainability has gained significant importance on a global scale, prompting governments, international organizations, private and public entities, and all stakeholders to explore avenues for contributing to sustainable development. However, the lack of accountability and transparency within organizations has posed challenges in identifying, measuring, and disclosing their sustainable practices and impacts. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus regarding the determinants and consequences of the extent and quality of non-financial information reporting.

To address these gaps, Enhancing Sustainability Through Non-Financial Reporting is a valuable book edited by Albertina Monteiro, Ana Pinto Borges, and Elvira Vieira. This comprehensive volume offers a thorough examination of the interconnected relationship between sustainability/Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices and reporting, as well as the domains of accounting, finance, and management. The book serves as a premier platform for disseminating innovative knowledge and emerging trends, employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. It warmly welcomes and encourages contributions from scholars and practitioners, encompassing empirical and theoretical articles, with the aim of reaching diverse audiences and covering a wide range of topics.
