Abstract

This chapter investigates the issues the military needs to adress when reporting to international and external stakeholders on its environmental sustainability performance. We propose a conceptual model to identify the most important decisions to be made. Empricially, we provide an overview of recent developments in reporting on environmental sustainability by the MODs of Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, The United States, and tyhe Netherlands. In doing so, we identify two main decisions to operationalise environmental sustainability performance and its reporting.
