Abstract

Social, economic and environmental pressures are increasingly impacting business development activities globally. Increasing expectations for ethical business practices were intensified by significant events, such as bushfires, the COVID-19 pandemic and a global financial crisis. This study examined if, and how, businesses operating in Tropical North Queensland were publicly promoting and reporting sustainable development activities. The study found that national and multi-national businesses frequently espoused commitment to sustainable development; however, small- and medium-sized businesses with ties to the community reported sustainable development activities more closely aligned to tropical regions, and local populations. This study contributes to the scarcity of empirical research, providing insights from the tropics, a region traditionally known for significant environmental, social and economic disadvantage, as well as a region of great economic opportunity.
