Abstract

This study examines the role of media exposure in corporate carbon emissions disclosure through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Climate change and increasing carbon emissions are becoming pressing global issues, pushing companies to disclose and manage their emissions transparently. Media exposure serves as a communication tool that can influence companies’ decisions in disclosing environmental information. The results show that the media has a complex role in driving carbon emissions disclosure transparency, with some studies showing a significant positive influence, while others show limited or no influence. These findings reflect the dynamics between the media, companies and stakeholders. While the media can raise public awareness and encourage companies to be more transparent, there are challenges in maintaining the quality of information disclosed. The study also identified consequences for companies that neglect carbon emissions disclosure, including negative reputation and decreased investor confidence. As such, companies are expected to commit to transparency and utilize the media strategically to increase carbon emissions disclosure. This study has limitations in terms of sample size and narrow focus, so it is recommended for future research to expand the scope and types of media analyzed.
