There is also a growing level of interest in extending sustainability reporting beyond individual companies to a sector or industry level (i.e. multiple organisations reporting). Given that sustainability often involves complex global issues which require collaboration between companies and engagement with a variety of stakeholders, reporting in this way is potentially more appropriate and useful than single company reporting.enSustainability accountingRegulatory issuesOrganisation environmental footprintJournal Article49192019-06-04https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
