Findings show that companies adopting environmental accounting practices benefit from improved resource management, reduced costs through energy efficiency and waste management, and enhanced reputation among stakeholders. In addition, the integration of social and environmental responsibility into business strategies is aligned with sustainable development goals, thus ensuring the long-term viability of companies. This study underscores the importance of transparent environmental reporting and strategic decision-making facilitated by accurate environmental information. This paper highlights the importance of transparent environmental reporting and strategic decision-making facilitated by accurate environmental information.
