Domain Analysis of Ethical, Social and Environmental Accounting Methods (2208.00721v1)

Abstract: Ethical, social and environmental accounting is the practice of assessing and reporting organisations' performance on environmental, social and governance topics. There are ample methods that describe how to perform such sustainability assessments. This report presents a domain analysis of ethical, social and environmental accounting methods. Our analysis contains 21 methods. Each method is modelled as a process deliverable diagram. The diagrams have been validated by experts in the methods. The diagrams lay the foundation for further analysis and software development. In this report, we touch upon the ethical, social and environmental accounting method ontology that has been created based on the domain analysis.
