<p>"<i>Stakeholder engagement and sustainability reporting</i> provides a valuable contribution to the social and environmental accounting literature by adding theoretical and empirical insights about the features of stakeholder engagement and the role that this plays in the process of sustainability reporting. The main thesis of the authors of this interesting book is that stakeholder engagement can be considered among the most effective tools for the materiality assessment of information in sustainability reporting and for supporting the orientation of strategies and decision making in light of stakeholders’ expectations.
