“…Mitchell and Hill (2009) stated that the GRI reporting in South Africa is endorsed by the King Report for Corporate Governance and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for listed companies; therefore, GRI reporting applies only to a limited number of companies. The same situation has been found in Bangladesh (Naeem and Welford, 2009;Sobhani et al, 2011) and Pakistan (Naeem and Welford, 2009).…”

a b s t r a c tThis study analyzes the worldwide diffusion of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) from the viewpoint of both a macro-and a microanalysis using data from the first decade of this century. For the macroanalysis, logistic curves were used to demonstrate the different stages and patterns in the dissemination of GRI in the different regions of the world that were examined. For the microanalysis, two indicesdinstability and concentrationdwere used to analyze and assess GRI diffusion across different sectors of activity. The findings are thus of considerable importance to the understanding of sustainability reporting worldwide. Moreover, they point to probable trends in sustainability reporting over the next few years.

Being a member of the society, it is evident that the organization has to operate like a team player; cue the influx of the green management concept. The study focuses on the second aspect of the green human resources management definition, which is preservation of knowledge asset and specifically addresses the novel concept of "Green employee empowerment" as a mediator. The research paper focuses on integrating and systematically arranging literature regarding motivating employees to pursue green tasks, as mediated by green employee empowerment. Literature supports that employees must be encouraged, empowered, and eco-conscious in order to take responsibility of green management tasks, which is core dilemma in today's world. Green empowered employees is a novel concept as introduced by this research paper but also has strong literature support stemming from the concept of "employee empowerment". The unit of analysis was previous available research studies relevant to the topic (their findings are included). Both the service and manufacturing sectors was focused and data was collected from ISI web of knowledge. Additionally, the search mostly focused on updated knowledge and only focused on 104 of recent and relevant studies. The study concluded that empowered employees are more motivated to perform environmental tasks which pay to be green. Human resources are truly the back bone of any successful organization, so motivated green workforce has a deep influential effect on social organizational profitability and productivity.

This is an accepted version of a paper published in Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. This paper has been peer-reviewed but does not include the final publisher proof-corrections or journal pagination.Citation for the published paper: Dobers, P., Halme, M. (2009 Abstract: This article gives attention to several CSR questions in developing countries: 1) Illustrations from e.g. South America and Africa, including African voices critical to foreign aid, show that societies are different in many respects. This implies different capacities of organizations and their managers to understand and address pressing CSR issues in different cultural contexts. 2) Weak institutional environments, such as in developing countries, often harbor illicit financial outflow from poor countries to rich ones. This strips developing nations of critical resources and contributes to failed states, a point hardly ever discussed in the CSR literature. We argue for corporate actions in areas such as enhancing capacity in detecting tax fraud, antitrust and the unveiling of corruption cases. Obviously legislation is a task of politicians, governments and international governmental bodies. However, if business enterprises can 'legally misuse' the system, then the matter should be seen as a CSR issue also. There is thus an urgency for concerted efforts by the private sector, public sector and NGOs to develop structures and institutions that contribute to social justice, environmental protection and poverty eradication.
