The social dimension of sustainability focuses on aspects that impact people and society. When developing and implementing policies, addressing conflicts of interest is directly related to the social dimension. This includes ensuring fair labor practices, promoting ethical behavior, and maintaining transparency and integrity in decision-making processes. Conflicts of interest can undermine trust and fairness in the workplace, affecting employee morale, community relations, and overall social responsibility.

Accounting practices primarily relate to the economic dimension of sustainability.

Biodiversity protection is part of the environmental dimension.

Waste reduction also falls under the environmental dimension.

Therefore, conflicts of interest align with the social dimension by fostering an ethical and fair working environment.
