Abstract

Sustainable organisations should serve the public interest and contribute to public value creation within ecosystems by promoting the quality of human resources, introducing information and communication technologies (ICTs), and ensuring sustainable financial reporting and communication to improve social and economic benefits for communities within society. The study aims to provide a framework to explain how to drive public organisations towards sustainability. Public organisations should consider sustainability as a goal and vision that guides strategy and action and enables value creation within ecosystems.
