Abstract: In recent years, escalating environmental crises, social inequalities, and economic uncertainties have clearly demonstrated the inadequacy of traditional corporate approaches that focus solely on financial performance. These developments have necessitated that companies consider not only their economic outcomes but also their environmental and social responsibilities in order to create long-term value. In this context, sustainability has emerged as a holistic management paradigm that reflects an organization's capacity to generate multi-dimensional value. Today, stakeholders demand more than just profitability; they also expect companies to demonstrate transparency and accountability regarding environmental impact reduction, social justice, and adherence to ethical principles. In response to these growing expectations, corporate governance mechanisms-such as board structure, audit committees, independent directors and ownership concentration-play a central role in shaping, implementing and disclosing firms' sustainability strategies. This study aims to examine the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on sustainability disclosures by adopting both a theoretical and practical perspective. Understanding the relationship between governance structures and sustainability reporting is of critical importance in enhancing corporate transparency and accountability.
