Special Session
ESG, Sustainable Business, and Corporate Governance
As part of APCMB 2026, this special session focuses on the growing strategic importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, sustainable business transformation, and effective corporate governance systems in shaping long-term organizational success.
In today’s dynamic business environment, firms are increasingly expected to align profitability with sustainability, transparency, stakeholder accountability, and responsible leadership. This special session invites interdisciplinary research that explores how organizations integrate ESG into strategic decision-making, governance structures, sustainability reporting, innovation systems, and investment performance.
We welcome contributions from scholars and practitioners in management, finance, accounting, governance, business analytics, sustainability, and public policy. Topics may include ESG strategy, corporate governance, sustainability reporting, sustainable finance, stakeholder management, board effectiveness, green innovation, responsible supply chains, and digital governance technologies.
This session aims to provide a collaborative forum for discussing how organizations can create long-term value while strengthening governance quality, resilience, and trust in the Asia-Pacific business landscape.
