However, a recent report by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) found that the deployment of digital technologies to report on sustainability information is insufficient. This is despite regulators and stakeholders increasingly requiring companies to undertake ESG reporting, to standardise it, as well as to be more transparent about the sustainability of their own activities and supply chains. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2r33v5bci8rrnl/Explanaory%20Statement%20for%20interview%20participants.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;

With 17 holistic goals and 169 targets, the SDG agenda aspires to stimulate action in areas that are of critical importance for humanity and the planet including hunger, poverty, inequality, health and well-being, clean energy and quality education (United Nations, 2015). Given the critical importance of SDGs, this initiative has drawn considerable attention in the policy debate and research. A number of conceptual studies have set the agenda and directions for advancing and achieving SDGs and the role of accounting and finance therein. However, little is known about how organisations, especially in the public, non-governmental and hybrid sectors are addressing and implementing the SDG goals and targets, and account for
