Green Accounting Practices: A Study on Corporate Environmental Accounting and Sustainability Reporting
Abstract: Green Accounting has become an important part of responsible business management as organizations face growing pressure to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility. This study examines how Green Accounting practices are being adopted across organizations, the factors that encourage or limit their use, and the ways these practices relate to sustainability and financial performance. A quantitative research design is proposed, using data collected from finance professionals, sustainability officers, and senior executives through a structured questionnaire, supported by information from annual reports, sustainability reports, government publications, and research literature. The analysis applies statistical techniques such as correlation, regression, ANOVA, chi square, and reliability testing to examine the relationships among Green Accounting, organizational sustainability, and financial results. The study also considers the influence of firm size and industry type while identifying practical challenges faced during implementation. The expected outcomes include a clearer understanding of current adoption levels, common barriers, and the potential value of Green Accounting in improving transparency, resource use, and long term business performance. The findings are intended to support organizations, policymakers, investors, and researchers in strengthening sustainable accounting practices.
