As global sustainability expectations intensify, digital technologies (DTs) are becoming essential tools for efficiently and effectively managing, measuring, and communicating sustainability performance and impact. This book unpacks how emerging and established DTs - from artificial intelligence and blockchain to cloud platforms and the Internet of Things - can transform sustainability reporting and data management, enhance decision-making, and improve accountability across value chains.Drawing on insights from extensive interviews and cross-sectional surveys of sustainability, accounting, auditing, data science and technology professionals, this book delivers a practical and evidence-based roadmap of how DTs are being leveraged and could be better leveraged in internal and external sustainability reporting-related activities. It explores how DTs can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of collecting, analysing, and assuring sustainability-related data, while also supporting scenario planning, target setting, and improving the accessibility and usability of disclosures for stakeholders. The book further examines the key drivers, opportunities, and challenges shaping the use of DTs in sustainability reporting and offers a valuable reference for practitioners and finance professionals through a concise mapping of relevant digital tools and platforms. It also explores the evolving roles and competencies required of accounting and finance professionals to effectively contribute to sustainability reporting and lead technology-enabled sustainability performance.This is a must-read for:Sustainability managers and leaders seeking more efficient, credible, and future-ready sustainability reporting practicesPolicy makers and regulators navigating the digitalisation of corporate transparency and complianceTechnology providers aiming to align product innovation with the fast-evolving needs of sustainability reportingEducators and students in accounting, finance, sustainability, and data science fields preparing for the future of sustainability-driven businessResearchers exploring the intersection of digital innovation, regulatory change, and reporting of sustainability risks, performance and impacts

This book stems from a concept that, from an information-theoretic and computational perspective, e-dimensionality represents optimal information representation. Drawing on the principle that nature consistently chooses optimal solutions, this book demonstrates that noninteger dimensionality provides a unifying framework for understanding diverse phenomena across physics, biology, engineering, and data science. The work explores how optimal information representation naturally leads to scale-invariance and self-similarity—characteristics observed throughout natural systems from fractals and genetic structures to evolutionary processes and neural networks. Key Features: • Reveals why three-way logic is superior to binary logic in natural systems and provides an information-theoretic rationale for the power laws frequently encountered across scientific applications • Explains fundamental biological mysteries including the non-uniform groupings of codons in the genetic code (ranging from 1 to 6 per amino acid) and offers novel insights into chromatin geometry and evolutionary dynamics • Addresses the reproducibility crisis in biomedical research by proposing new significance testing approaches based on noninteger dimensionality that move beyond traditional binary hypothesis testing methods Written for researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, computer science, physics, and biology, this work serves as both an advanced textbook for senior-level and graduate courses and a research resource providing fresh perspectives on longstanding problems across multiple disciplines.
