Description The STAR project aims to create a transnational, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary research network; the main aim of which is to design and provide a comprehensive understanding of how cultural and contextual factors shape sustainability reporting practices, i.e. corporate disclosure of ESG risks and opportunities. Sustainability reporting is a critical component of corporate responsibility and accountability in today’s business landscape. It involves disclosing an organization’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance to various stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees and the public. To increase scrutiny of companies’ sustainability performance and strategy, current legislative changes approved by the EC underline the shift from voluntary to mandatory ESG disclosure as a global effort to address climate change and social inequalities, with the same frame of reference for sustainability information.
