Author(s): Dr. Ashok Sachdeva

Abstract
The incorporation of sustainability into accounting processes has become more significant as organisations and communities confront mounting environmental issues. This paper critically examines the progression of sustainability in accounting with a particular focus on how it contributes to the mitigation of environmental effects. Conventional accounting approaches which primarily concentrate on financial success are insufficient for comprehensively assessing the wider impact of company operations on the environment. This study analyses the transition towards more inclusive accounting frameworks such as Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) reporting. These frameworks attempt to measure and publish environmental and social indicators in addition to financial data. The study assesses the efficacy of various frameworks in promoting openness and accountability emphasising both their potential and constraints. Notable difficulties include the absence of uniform measurements the intricacy of incorporating environmental data into financial reports and the inconsistent degrees of dedication shown by firms. The report also examines the influence of regulatory agencies and international standards in advancing sustainable accounting practices. In summary this research highlights the need for a stronger and widely acknowledged accounting method that accurately represents the actual environmental expenses associated with company activities. The statement supports the idea of ongoing innovation and cooperation among those involved in the accounting sector to improve the importance and accuracy of sustainability reporting.
