Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current digital evolution has affected sustainability reporting, producing changes in presentation, analysis, and interpretation, and future challenges, having a strong social impact. Many of the challenges of economic and environmental impacts have been widely debated, but the social impact produced in the age of digitalization through the implementation of sustainability and the use of different methods of highlighting performance have been less discussed.
This Special Issue entitled “Social Impact and Challenges of Sustainability Reporting in the Digital Era” will approach a wide range of topics that will help readers understand the positive and negative aspects of the social impact of sustainability reporting in the digital environment. This Special Issue welcomes papers on the technological modalities for creating and using digital sustainability or integrated reporting, the content and use of information from sustainability reporting, studies on stakeholder perceptions (local communities, specialized organisms, NGOs, etc.) reflecting the environmental performance of sustainability reports, and the benefits or limitations of sustainability reporting in the digital environment.
Contributions related to the psychological and behavioral aspects of stakeholders as well as the social impact produced by the use of digital sustainability reports are welcome. We invite papers that outline the processes related to the transdisciplinary type or other processes of scientific and practical collaboration necessary for the implementation and use of sustainable digitalization.
