Abstract

Contemporary research in business, and sustainability consistently highlights the critical role of informed decision-making and integrated sustainability practices (Dong, et al., 2024). My own research, focusing on social cost of carbon and sustainability education, underscores how robust business practices can enable businesses to be more sustainable. This academic lens provides a powerful argument for Carbon Literacy. Without a foundational understanding of carbon impacts, businesses struggle to accurately measure, report, and ultimately reduce their emissions effectively (European Commission, 2023). Academic research increasingly emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in environmental performance, and Carbon Literacy equips professionals with the analytical skills to engage meaningfully with carbon accounting and reporting frameworks (Pindyck, 2019). It fosters a culture where sustainability is not a trendy initiative but an integral part of strategic planning and operational execution, supported by data-driven insights (Larrinaga & Bebbington, 2021).
