Synopsis
The Asia Pacific is leading the charge for transformative sustainability, as environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters become increasingly central to policy-making, as well as corporate and societal discussions. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of ESG practices, frameworks and outcomes in economies and industries with varying levels of economic and institutional development, revealing the region’s vibrancy as well as dynamic evolution towards sustainable growth. Structured around six key themes, the volume combines theoretical and data-driven analysis to tackle current topics related to ESG disclosure and reporting quality, corporate governance and audit oversight, fiscal policy and taxation approaches to ethical accountability, as well as the potential for Islamic finance and social financial institutions (SFIs) to influence social responsibility. Contributions from regional researchers offer a multidisciplinary viewpoint on the strengthening of transparency, improving corporate performance and helping to create long-term value through ESG integration. ESG in Asia Pacific is a useful resource for academics, policymakers and practitioners who want to gain an insight into the latest trends of ESG adoption in both emerging and developed markets. Connecting theory and practice, this volume helps to advance discussions on sustainable governance and responsible development in the Asia Pacific region as well as similar areas beyond. Edited by Jalila Johari, Ridzwana Mohd Said, and Siti Manisah Ngalim, this work unites researchers and practitioners from across the Asia Pacific to address the region’s sustainability challenges and opportunities.
