Abstract
ABSTRACT Jeffrey Unerman was a prominent figure in the social and environmental accounting research community. In this review I reflect on one specific element of his legacy, namely the research Jeffrey conducted and published on corporate social and environmental disclosures both on his own as well as with various co-authors. In addition to giving an overview of this research, I will also provide some reflections on his work. I structure my review around three themes featuring across Jeffrey’s research on organisational disclosures: methodological insight, theoretical diversity and agenda-setting discussion. I conclude by highlighting how Jeffrey emphasised the importance of pursuing rigorous scholarly research with societal relevance.
期刊介绍：
Social and Environmental Accountability Journal (SEAJ) is the official Journal of The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research. It is a predominantly refereed Journal committed to the creation of a new academic literature in the broad field of social, environmental and sustainable development accounting, accountability, reporting and auditing. The Journal provides a forum for a wide range of different forms of academic and academic-related communications whose aim is to balance honesty and scholarly rigour with directness, clarity, policy-relevance and novelty. SEAJ welcomes all contributions that fulfil the criteria of the journal, including empirical papers, review papers and essays, manuscripts reporting or proposing engagement, commentaries and polemics, and reviews of articles or books. A key feature of SEAJ is that papers are shorter than the word length typically anticipated in academic journals in the social sciences. A clearer breakdown of the proposed word length for each type of paper in SEAJ can be found here.
