DOIs:10.2015/IJIRMF/202508019 | Paper ID: IJIRMF202508019The relationship between sustainability accounting methods, green supply chain finance (GSCF), and how these elements work together to form financial reporting frameworks is examined in this study. Businesses are feeling increasing pressure to integrate eco-friendly practices throughout their supply chains as environmental sustainability gains popularity. Green supply chain finance (GSCF) uses financial solutions and incentives to promote sustainable behaviours, thereby helping to connect financial and environmental goals. Furthermore, blockchain technology offers GSCF an attractive tool for improving accountability, efficiency, and transparency. In order to explore the potential integration of GSCF with blockchain technology and sustainable accounting, this research examines scholarly sources, with a focus on the function of GSCF in improving financial reporting procedures. The study comes to the conclusion that corporate financial reporting might be reshaped and brought into line with global sustainability goals by incorporating blockchain technology into GSCF and sustainability accounting.
