Abstract

Purpose: Integrating sustainability into the information policy of enterprises involves embedding sustainable practices into an organisation's communication strategies, data management, and reporting mechanisms. There is a perceived need for research into how companies integrate sustainability into their information policies. Methodology/approach: Against this background, this paper examines the integration of sustainability into enterprises' information policy, highlighting its significance for contemporary business practices. The increased attention being given to environmental and corporate social responsibility (CSR) means that businesses are becoming more active in incorporating sustainability into their strategic objectives. Findings: This study assesses how enterprises adopt and implement sustainable practices within their information policies, focusing on the mechanisms and frameworks that support this integration. Some approaches used to incorporate sustainability into information policies have been identified by analysing case studies across various industries. Originality/value: The paper concludes by identifying the key factors influencing the successful incorporation of sustainability into information policies, including leadership commitment, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory compliance.
