In: Administration & society, Band 55, Heft 10, S. 1911-1931

Abstract

This article explores the possible effects of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on stand-alone corporate sustainability reporting and assurance on such reports. To this end, we use stakeholder theory to examine the potential impact of the IRA on sustainability reporting, which includes environmental, social, and governance indicators. It also explores the various ways of implementing measures to achieve high-quality sustainability reporting and guidelines for assurance of such reports. This article provides one of the first frameworks for organizations to initiate action on climate change.
