ESGTT: How Developing Countries Can Generate Revenues Through a Mandatory Compliance Model introduces a bold framework for transforming how developing nations and their partners approach revenue generation in a rapidly changing world. Confronting the challenges of climate change, inequality, and technological disruption, the book proposes ESGTT: an integrated, enforceable model spanning Environmental, Social, Governance, Technology, and Taxation domains. Unlike traditional ESG frameworks, which rely on voluntary participation and often serve branding purposes, ESGTT is grounded in mandatory compliance and standardized reporting. The model makes transparency obligatory across all five domains and turns regulatory requirements into revenue opportunities. This approach aims to unlock economic value, reduce illicit financial flows, and strengthen national budgets, particularly in countries where billions are lost annually to tax avoidance, corruption, and financial opacity.
