Rezensionen

"Sustainability Accounting and Accountability is essential reading. It provides accounting students and educators with the much-needed conceptual resources to engage meaningfully with the most pressing issues of our times. In considering the relationship between accounting and the climate crisis, rising economic inequality and human rights, the book provides students with the critical tools they need to be part of these important debates. The viability of our future depends on books like this and I hope all accounting students have access to courses with this as their primary resource."

Associate Professor Jane Andrew, The University of Sydney, Australia

"As global society and organizations increasingly address the Sustainable Development Goals, the need for accountants to support this unstoppable movement is clear. Sustainability Accounting and Accountability is the book that provides the essential underpinning for this task, introducing accounting tools that will advance sustainability and providing constructive critique as to if these tools are fit for purpose. This book is an insightful and clear-headed exposition from leaders in the field and will be essential for all students and researchers."

Professor Jan Bebbington, Director, Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business, University of Lancaster, UK

"Without evidence or knowledge of the social, economic or ecological consequences of our decisions we will remain trapped in destructive patterns of behaviour. We will remain unaware of how to create sustained shared value, build resilient systems or reduce the risks we currently face. Drawing on extensive research, the authors identify the blind spots, knowledge gaps and those marginalised by conventional accounting and accountability. This book offers insights, new possibilities and pathways to align the undoubted power of accounting and accountability with the challenges of the 21st century to help ensure a sustainable future for all."
