This conference seeks to bring together leading academic accounting scholars working on and interested in ESG and Sustainability-related research topics.

Relevant topics for the conference include (but are not limited to):

– Incentives surrounding ESG or Sustainability Reporting decisions.
– Economic consequences of ESG and Sustainability reporting activities.
– Measurement of environmental risks, costs, and exposures.
– Use of sustainability metrics, information, and control systems for stewardship, governance, and internal decision making.
– Interaction of sustainable reporting with the firm’s governance structure and activities.
– How investors or other capital market participants use, process, gather, and produce sustainability-related information.
