Tiivistelmä: | This paper revisits the relation between corporate environmental performance and the level of environmental disclosures by testing competing predictions from economics based and socio-political theories of voluntary disclosure using a more rigorous research design. A content analysis index is developed based on the Global Reporting Initative sustainability reporting guidelines to assess the extent of discretionary disclosures in environmental and social responsibility reports. A sample of 191 firms from the five most polluting industries in the US is used, and there seems to be a positive association between environmental performance and the level of discretionary environmental disclosures. |
