Łódź University of Technology is a project partner along with 9 other European universities, with the leader being UNIVERSITATEA NATIONALA DE STIINTASI TEHNOLOGIE POLITEHNICA BUCURESTI.
The research objectives are:
1. Investigate the cultural barriers and identify cultural enablers that facilitate high-quality non-financial disclosures of ESG - related matters.
2. Systematically collect and analyze the quality of information toward a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between cultural, regional, and industrial factors in sustainability reporting practices.
3. Define cutting-edge interdisciplinary models with culturally sensitive information and promote effective disclosure strategies for better sustainability reporting practices.
The STAR project will move beyond the current debate over the quality of sustainability data and information and put forward robust research combining international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration to develop more effective and culturally sensitive reporting strategies as key means for greater transparency, accountability, and business resilience.
Dr. hab. Andrzej Marcinkowski, Professor at Łódź University of Technology, is the coordinator on behalf of LUT.
