A Study on Corporate Sustainability Reporting and ItsImpact on Consumer and Investor Confidence

Abstract

Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSR) has become a critical component of modern business strategy, reflecting an organization’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. This study examines the role of sustainability reporting in shaping consumer trust and investor confidence. By integrating non-financial disclosures with traditional performance metrics, companies aim to enhance transparency, strengthen brand reputation, and align with stakeholder values. The research analyzes how comprehensive and credible sustainability reports influence purchasing behavior, investment decisions, and long-term stakeholder relationships. Findings highlight that well-structured sustainability reporting not only reinforces ethical and responsible corporate practices but also serves as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth.
