Toni Mättö is a Senior Lecturer and researcher whose work focuses on public sector governance, risk management, accountability, and organizational change. His research has examined how governance paradigms, institutional structures, and managerial practices shape organizational responses to complex societal challenges. More recently, his work has explored private sector issues related to sustainability. His ongoing research projects investigate sustainability accounting, particularly the measurement and management of carbon emissions, as well as the relationship between corporate greenwashing and management control systems. Through interdisciplinary and theoretically informed research, he seeks to understand how public and private sector organizations navigate competing demands, reforms, and evolving expectations.
His research provides practical insights for organizations seeking to strengthen governance, improve risk management practices, and enhance accountability in complex operating environments. It can help managers design more effective control systems, support credible sustainability reporting and assurance processes, and develop organizational practices that reduce the risk of greenwashing. By identifying how institutional structures and management practices influence organizational behavior, his work offers evidence-based guidance for organizations responding to regulatory change, sustainability requirements, and stakeholder expectations.
