Abstract

The measurement and quantification of corporate environmental impact has emerged as a critical challenge in contemporary business practices. Traditional environmental accounting frameworks have predominantly relied on linear models and standardized reporting metrics that often fail to capture the complex, interconnected nature of ecological systems and corporate operations. These conventional approaches suffer from significant limitations, including their inability to account for non-linear relationships, temporal dependencies, and spatial variations in environmental impacts. The growing demand for authentic corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting necessitates the development of more sophisticated computational methodologies that can provide accurate, comprehensive assessments of environmental performance. This research addresses these limitations by introducing a novel computational framework that integrates quantum-inspired optimization algorithms with multimodal deep learning techniques. The framework represents a fundamental departure from traditional environmental accounting practices, offering a more dynamic and comprehensive approach to measuring corporate environmental impact. By leveraging principles from quantum computing and advanced machine learning, our methodology enables the simultaneous consideration of multiple environmental states and their complex interrelationships, providing a more holistic assessment of corporate environmental performance.
