Accounting for Sustainable Development Performance



The necessity and desirability of pursuing sustainable forms of development have gained considerable currency over the last two decades. Sustainable development (SD) has been championed at inter-governmental, national, regional and sectoral levels (see Table 1.1) and now appears to be cemented in the public policy arena as the only just and appropriate goal for human activities. This move has significant implications for all parts of society as the SD agenda is wide ranging and far reaching (see Bebbington 2001, for a brief his- tory of the development of the concept of SD within a business and accounting context). While the SD agenda affects us all as individ- uals (in the context of being consumers and as citizens) it also affects the context within which we undertake our professional duties: hence the focus of this book is on accounting for SD performance.
