Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to identify changes in regulatory requirements that will lead to improved transparency on sustainability and corporate responsibility issues and the impact this may have for stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach - This paper explored the relationship between new regulations governing the types of sustainability information this is likely to generate and whose interests this will favour. Findings - The new regulations are likely to enhance short‐term, narrow focus solutions but provide less support longer standing, broader brush sustainability reporting initiatives. Originality/value - This paper summarises the current regulatory environment of sustainability reporting and identifies avenues for further research and improvement of carbon reporting and its impact on sustainability.
