ACCT6015: Contemporary Sustainability Management
2026 unit information
This unit reviews contemporary approaches to sustainability management and reporting practices, highlighting emerging developments and challenges. These emerging management and reporting models claim to enhance understanding of organisational performance to a variety of stakeholders and are based on new performance measurement technologies that arguably improve decision making. This unit of study is designed to provide a critical analysis of the issues surrounding organisation sustainability-related performance, and explores the key underlying issues associated with the emergence of related practices. The unit looks at how the reporting of economic and non-economic performance enables private, public and third sector organisations to provide an account of their value creation and sustainability performance. The unit also explores the perspectives of significant bodies of research on reporting value-creating activities and non-economic performance.
