Abstract
Findings One particular framework is not suitable for an entity; it should be considered a mechanism that caters to unique focus areas and should rather be viewed as an ecosystem that allows for a holistic approach to the green transition. Originality/ Value and practical implications This report, distinguished by its methodological rigour, is deeply rooted in ontological stance. It integrates critical realism and constructivism to comprehend the multifaceted realities of ESG frameworks. Epistemologically, it embodies pragmatism and constructivism, facilitating the isomorphism between stakeholder’s regulatory frameworks and civil society obligations. The use of descriptive research, coupled with mixed methods thematic analysis, including interviews and document reviews, is elevated by a comparative analysis. This approach allows for an empirically grounded discussion and provides profound insights into the trajectory of the ESG landscape. The findings of this research have practical implications, offering a comprehensive understanding of the green transition within ESG frameworks and its relevance to real-world applications. 5 Keywords: Normative change, ESG, Ethical responsibility, Discourse, Proactive Mitigation, Isomorphism Equilibrium, Janusian face Cause and effect Paper type: Thesis report
