Abstract
In recent years, sustainability and non-financial information (NFI) reporting have gained prominence, especially in the food sector. This research examines the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and NFI in environmental accounting, focusing on their impact on food choices and environmental sustainability. A literature review and qualitative study on university students revealed skepticism towards sustainability labels, often seen as greenwashing. An experimental study was conducted to explore the impact of NFIs on restaurant menus, revealing that the provision of environmental data encourages more sustainable choices. The findings underscore the necessity for enhanced transparency, reliable certifications, and public policies to facilitate access to sustainable products, and they highlight that the strategic integration of NFIs can enhance corporate reporting and promote responsible consumption, thereby contributing to a more sustainable food system.
