Abstract

This study aims to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for measuring corporate contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in emerging markets through sustainability accounting. Motivated by persistent variation in SDG reporting quality and the continuing disconnect between disclosure and actual sustainability performance, the research seeks to clarify how sustainability accounting can function not only as a reporting mechanism but also as a strategic performance measurement system. Employing a qualitative, literature-based methodology, the study synthesizes findings from recent empirical and theoretical research across sustainability accounting, ESG disclosure, SDG alignment, governance studies, and institutional analysis. The results reveal that sustainability accounting in emerging markets is expanding but remains uneven, often characterized by symbolic disclosure practices and fragmented indicator systems. Strong governance structures, robust internal management controls, and supportive institutional environments emerge as critical enablers of reliable, SDG-aligned sustainability accounting. The study further identifies a mediating relationship whereby sustainability accounting generates structured ESG information that supports SDG performance when indicators are explicitly linked to SDG targets and embedded within strategic decision-making processes. The main contribution of the research is the formulation of an integrative framework that positions sustainability accounting as a multidimensional tool for SDG measurement, emphasizing indicator alignment, governance quality, management integration, and institutional adaptability. These findings offer theoretical insights into the evolving nature of sustainability accounting and practical guidance for firms and policymakers seeking to strengthen SDG reporting and accelerate sustainable development outcomes in emerging economies.

Abstract

This study examines how climate-related risk governance and corporate transparency jointly shape market perception by synthesizing contemporary empirical and theoretical developments within the sustainability and climate finance literature. The research aims to clarify the mechanisms through which governance structures influence the quality and credibility of climate disclosures and how these disclosures, in turn, inform investor assessments of firm resilience, strategic preparedness, and long-term value potential. Using a qualitative systematic literature review approach, the study analyzes peer-reviewed research published between 2014 and 2024, drawing on multidisciplinary evidence from accounting, finance, environmental management, and regulatory policy. The results demonstrate that robust climate-risk governance enhances firms’ ability to identify, quantify, and manage climate risks and serves as the internal foundation for producing high-quality and decision-useful disclosures. Furthermore, the findings reveal that transparent climate reporting reduces information asymmetry, strengthens investor confidence, and contributes to more favorable market valuations, particularly when disclosures align with standardized frameworks such as TCFD and IFRS S2. The study also identifies substantial variation in disclosure practices across industries and regions and highlights the risks associated with selective reporting and greenwashing. The findings underscore that governance and transparency are not isolated constructs but mutually reinforcing drivers of market interpretation and sustainable value creation. Overall, this research provides theoretical insight into the governance–transparency–market nexus and offers practical implications for firms, investors, and regulators seeking to advance climate-aligned financial systems.
