Shifting Currents: Exploring Renewable Energy and Waste Management^s Influence on Carbon Disclosure in Energy Sector 1,2 Department of Accounting, Universitas Mercu Buana, Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract In climate change, the energy sector is crucial in mitigating carbon emissions. This study investigates how adopting renewable energy and waste management practices influences carbon emission disclosure in the energy sector. The study aims to examine how integrating renewable energy and effective waste management affects the level and quality of carbon emission disclosure among energy sector entities, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in reporting. We are collecting data from sustainability reports of energy companies and utilizing regression analysis to identify the impact of renewable energy use and waste management efficiency on carbon disclosure. Findings suggest a positive correlation between renewable energy adoption and carbon disclosure level. Effective waste management practices also seem to enhance carbon reporting transparency. However, nuances in these relationships necessitate further exploration. Understanding the impact of renewable energy integration and waste management on carbon disclosure can aid policymakers in designing regulations promoting sustainability. For energy companies, insights from this study can optimize environmental reporting strategies, enhance stakeholder trust, and meet disclosure expectations. This research contributes empirical evidence to the literature on the relationship between renewable energy adoption, waste management, and carbon disclosure in the energy sector and developing sustainability theory in environment management accounting.
