Tuntutan keberlanjutan mendorong organisasi untuk memposisikan akuntansi lingkungan sebagai bagian integral dari praktik manajemen berkelanjutan, bukan sekadar alat pelaporan. Namun, masih terdapat kesenjangan antara adopsi akuntansi lingkungan dan perubahan substantif dalam pengambilan keputusan manajerial. Penelitian ini menganalisis secara kritis peran akuntansi lingkungan dengan mengintegrasikan perspektif Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), Management Control Systems (MCS), teori legitimasi, dan greenwashing. Metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi literatur mengungkap bahwa akuntansi lingkungan memiliki potensi transformasional yang kondisional, tergantung pada integrasinya ke dalam sistem pengendalian dan proses strategis. EMA berperan dalam internalisasi biaya lingkungan, namun berpotensi menjadi simbolik tanpa integrasi MCS. Akuntansi lingkungan juga berfungsi sebagai mekanisme legitimasi yang ambivalen, dapat mendorong akuntabilitas maupun memicu greenwashing. Novelty penelitian terletak pada pendekatan integratif yang memposisikan akuntansi lingkungan sebagai praktik manajerial-institusional yang terikat pada sistem pengendalian dan dinamika legitimasi.
