In the U.S sustainability accounting reporting is developing and becoming more prevalent in public companies. This paper details accounting literature to present a comprehensive view of the landscape of sustainability accounting reporting. An archival analysis is used to summarize sustainability reporting as there is increased pressure on companies to consider their social and environmental impacts which is largely due to sustainability accounting reporting guidelines proliferation. Although U.S. Companies are not as far along in reporting sustainability issues, the current increase in sustainability reporting should lead to the pros over the cons for U.S. companies producing sustainability reports.
