Description:Welcome to this work, which proposes, in an innovative and engaging way, to elucidate the precepts and practices of Sustainable Accounting, with special attention to the measurement and impact of the carbon footprint. Here, the reader will not only find a compendium of information, but will be instigated to deep reflections, through case studies and an invitation to urgent transformation. In a scenario where traditional accounting is sometimes perceived as a distant and merely technical discipline, we propose a humanized and strategic perspective. In this book, we will articulate fundamental concepts, transcending the coldness of numbers and calculations to analyze the essence of the corporate decisions that reverberate in our ecosystem. Latent restlessness in contemplating the future is the engine of this exploration, in which we examine the intrinsic connection between business practices and the environmental vitality of our planet. In the first chapter, the immersion in the basic concepts will reveal how accounting is established as an indispensable pillar for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The carbon footprint, far from being a mere collection of static data, unfolds in a vast universe of social, economic and, unequivocally, environmental implications. It is imperative to ponder the magnitude of the impact of our daily actions on the ecological balance. Throughout the subsequent chapters, micro-stories will be presented that will arouse both the ethical sense and the strategic ambitions of the reader. The experiences of companies that have faced and overcome challenges imposed by their carbon footprints will be detailed. The analysis of the successes and mistakes of others is an invaluable learning tool, essential for understanding the consequences and mitigating future failures. Normative frameworks and relevant legislation, often interpreted as obstacles, will be demonstrated as guidelines that mark the way towards more sustainable corporate practices. The future of accounting science is being outlined at this moment, and the reader is an integral part of this process. We will discuss the projections for Sustainable Accounting in the coming years, in light of technological innovations that promise to improve the accuracy in measuring the carbon footprint. It prepares to assimilate how innovation converts into strategic opportunities. In a world of increasing scrutiny, knowledge of success stories is crucial. The reader will witness how corporations, armed with well-founded strategies, have achieved remarkable results in their sustainable initiatives. A key principle that deserves to be highlighted is the inseparability between communication and transparency. Therefore, we will pay attention to how these elements should permeate each stage of the Sustainable Accounting journey. After all, excellence does not lie only in doing, but in demonstrating and sharing the achievements achieved. In this context, it is imperative to recognize the power of the contemporary consumer: "Companies are realizing that today's consumers, who are more aware and demanding, not only value quality products and services, but also care about the way these products are manufactured" (J.P.G Kormann & W. Rodrigues, 2025, p. 34). Finally, the conclusion of this work aims to inspire and motivate the reader to be a catalyzing agent of this paradigmatic change. With the honesty that moves us, we reiterate that individual contribution is fundamental to building a more responsible and sustainable world. We therefore invite you to follow this journey of discoveries and advances, towards a more promising and low-carbon corporate future.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
