Abstract

This project examines the complex issues businesses encounter when addressing the environmental aspects of corporate sustainability reporting in Denmark. The project elucidates difficulties involved in establishing environmental indicators and various qualitative and quantitative facets of environmental data. Managing external pressures and meeting the information needs of stakeholders while navigating the ever-changing regulatory and commercial landscapes also present a significant obstacle. Additionally, the need for developing a culture of continuous organizational learning, creating new organizational routines, and training staff on reporting principles is highlighted as well. The compounding factors of securing managerial commitment and navigating through uncertainties add layers of complexity to these challenges. Ultimately, the project shows that companies must allocate resources, utilize digital solutions, and foster efficient communication and knowledge sharing to effectively address these complex issues.
