Is AI the key to better sustainability reports?

AI and Sustainability Reporting: Advancing Sustainability, Accountability, and Corporate Governance has been published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis. The book is authored by Patrycja Hąbek, Kjartan Sigurðsson, and Małgorzata Radomska.

The book examines how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of sustainability reporting, ESG disclosure, transparency, accountability, and corporate governance. It explores how emerging technologies can support more effective collection, analysis, and communication of sustainability-related information, and how AI can be used to identify patterns, assess risks, and improve the quality and usefulness of sustainability data.

At the same time, the book addresses important challenges linked to the use of AI, including data reliability, ethical concerns, transparency in decision-making, and corporate accountability. In doing so, it connects academic debates on sustainability, digital transformation, and governance with practical challenges facing companies and institutions working toward more responsible and transparent sustainability practices.

The book is intended for scholars, managers, consultants, postgraduate students, and professionals working with sustainability, artificial intelligence, corporate social responsibility, disclosure, accountability, and governance. It contributes to current debates on the relationship between AI, sustainable development, and responsible business practice.
