| Tiivistelmä: | Some companies, as a matter of course, are now publishing a statement and explanation of their ethical objectives either contained within, or as a supplementary report to, their statutory annual report. However, as this paper shows, there are significant distortions and omissions of information concerning ethical issues in current UK reporting systems. Most UK companies fail to report meaningfully on the ethical nature, extent, and implications of their trading and operating activities. Selective evidence from ten leading UK listed companies indicates that companies tend to use the reporting of ethical issues to portray their own image in a "positive" or "favorable" light. |
