Die Berichterstattung im Rahmen der Emissionsrechte
Eine kritische Analyse des Status quo und der Ausgestaltung regulatorischer Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung
Schriften zum Betrieblichen Rechnungswesen und Controlling
In den letzten Jahren wurden zahlreiche regulatorische Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Nachhaltigkeitsaspekten veröffentlicht. Es ist allerdings zu vermuten, dass die meisten dieser Regelungen das Ergebnis politischer Diskussionen und nicht ökonomischer Überlegungen sind. Von regulatorischen Maßnahmen verschont, bleibt bis heute die Emissionsrechteberichterstattung, welche idealtypisch für einen solchen Nachhaltigkeitsaspekt betrachtet werden kann. Dabei gilt als […]
