“…The literature agrees on the positive effect of financial leverage on non-financial disclosure (Sharif & Rashid, 2014;Andrikopoulos et al, 2014). A greater degree of financial leverage implies greater monitoring costs for companies (Jensen & Meckling, 1976).…”

In recent years, corporate disclosure policies have undergone important changes due mainly to greater requests from stakeholders and the presence of limited resources. Companies are forced to rethink their disclosure strategies and the way they communicate to the outside, in order to increase transparency and meet the needs of their stakeholders. In this context, Integrated Reporting (IR), developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), represents a new way to provide, in a single document, interconnected information on strategies, risks, performance, governance and future prospects. In the development process of this reporting tool, South Africa played an important role. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the level of alignment of integrated reports with the IIRC framework in the South African contest. The results show first of all that South African companies provide integrated reports with high levels of alignment with the IIRC framework. Secondly, the analysis of the determinants shows how firm size, firm profitability and financial leverage positively affect the level of compliance of the integrated reports with the IIRC requirements.

“…On the other hand, excessively leveraged firms may not available the required funds for largely discretionary practices of communication with stakeholders, such as environmental reporting. The negative effect of financial leverage on the extent of CSR and environmental reporting has also been documented with empirical evidence in the literature (Brammer and Pavelin, ; Andrikopoulos and Samitas, ). Drawing on this evidence and our contract‐theoretic argument, we form our fourth hypothesis.…”

Drawing on the importance of social accounting for sustainable development, we study practices of environmental disclosure on the websites of companies listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The first part of this paper produces and discusses descriptive evidence on environmental reporting practices by listed companies with respect to the content of disclosed information. We then undertake an explanatory task in order to identify the factors that determine environmental reporting for firms listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Firm size, financial leverage, the market‐to‐book ratio, and profitability are significantly associated with the breadth environmental disclosure.

Most research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and the stakeholder engagement with sustainable development has focused on the internal factors of corporations, leaving aside the characteristics of the institutional, cultural and economic context of the country where corporations operate. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of femininity in the disclosure of sustainability information based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines at a developed country context. We use three measures of the CSR information disclosure by country: the GRI reports per million of inhabitants, the GRI reports application level, and the percentage of GRI reports with external assurance. The results of this study show that countries with higher femininity orientation provide higher quantity of sustainability reports, but do not provide higher quality of sustainability reports.
