This information consists of economic, environmental, human, consumer related performance disclosure. If this information is disclosed by the companies then it enables them for gaining confidence among all the stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, loan providers, government and other regulatory authorities etc., in some countries of the world it is mandatory to report and disclose the sustainability information but in some countries it is voluntary. If the sustainability reporting is made mandatory then it will ensure the accountability on the firm’s sustainable performance because in some countries of the world there are separate regulations and standards for sustainability reporting practices so the present study is intended to analyse the Indian regulation of sustainability reporting and its compliance by Indian companies.
