An insight into sustainability reporting in waste management industry

Petkovšek, Veronika (author), Pevcin, Primož (author)

The paper focuses on the analysis of sustainability awareness in the field of waste management, which can be observed also through sustainability reporting. Special attention is given to providers of services of general economic interest in the waste management industry in Slovenia. The methodology involves reviewing the information and publications available on the organizations’ websites, where annual reports and sustainability reports are taken into consideration. The research population includes all 65 waste management service providers in Slovenia. This research aims to recognize whether organizations produce any form of sustainability reporting, and to what extent are they compliant with the European directives in this domain. Results indicate that most of the analyzed organizations include sustainability reporting in their annual reports, either as a separate chapter or as part of other content in the annual report.
