Abstract
In recent years, the issue of global warming spanning from climate change to
the excessive exploitation of natural resources has piqued the interest of people from
all walks of life globally. Anthropogenic activities are without a doubt the primary
cause of environmental degradation, with majority having direct linkage to corporate
activities. Hence, triggering constant pressure from public for companies to reassess
their activities and adopt sound sustainability practice. Concerned authorities, such as
the government, regulators, and other key stakeholders also have their interest piqued
in combating global warming and other harmful environmental issues. As a result,
numerous efforts were created, one of which resulted in the carbon pricing policy, a
means to curb greenhouse gases (GHG) emission. Although, some companies had
begun implementing sustainability strategies into their management processes, yet
response rate is still not encouraging as report showed the number of companies with
actual sustainability practice is far below the number of companies that claim to have
adopt sustainable practice and reporting. As a result, it becomes more imperative to
delve into factors that can influence firms to embrace extensive sustainability practice
and reporting in the world at large.
