“…A further CSR tool for transparency and accountability to company stakeholders is found in company reporting. Reporting on gender and diversity mostly takes place as part of CSR reporting (Grosser & Moon 2008, Grosser et al 2008). Analysis reveals that company reporting on gender equality in the workplace appears to have improved over the past decade and does sometimes include information about employee consultation on gender and diversity issues.…”

“…Unlike previous papers on CSR from a feminist perspective (e.g. Adams & Harte 1999, Coleman 2002, Prieto & Bendell 2002, Barrientos et al 2003, Grosser & Moon 2005a,b, 2008, Hale & Opondo 2005, Marshall 2007), this paper addresses the debate about corporations and citizenship (‘’) and explores the extent to which gender equality has been addressed within the field of SR (‘’). It discusses women as stakeholders in CSR (‘’) and concludes that, through a more gender‐aware approach to SR, CSR might be used to further advance gender equality as part of the EU sustainability strategy.…”

Corporate social responsibility and gender equality: women as stakeholders and the European Union sustainability strategy Kate Grosser n This paper examines how progress on gender equality in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) might contribute to broader EU gender and sustainability objectives. It focuses on corporations and citizenship, and on company stakeholder relations (SR) in particular. While the literature on SR has previously engaged with scholarship on feminist ethics, and in particular the 'ethics of care', this paper draws upon the feminist citizenship and feminist ethics literature, and upon gender mainstreaming strategy to suggest a more comprehensive approach to gender equality within SR. The aim is to extend our understanding of CSR as a potential policy instrument to advance gender equality.

“…Las cuatro empresas declararon haber elaborado un Plan de Igualdad, pero tan sólo tres habían incluido algún informe sobre igualdad de oportunidades en sus memorias, lo que podría resultar sorprendente, ya que el Código Conthe obliga a las empresas cotizadas a explicar los motivos de la escasez de consejeras. Aunque esta obligación no siempre se ha cumplido y las empresas tienden a no incluir estos informes en sus memorias, sobre todo si los datos no reflejan una evolución positiva que pueda ayudar a mejorar su imagen corporativa (Grosser y Moon, 2008). …”

“…Cuando menos puede utilizarse para enviar señales positivas a sus stakeholders (Brammer et al, 2009;Huse y Solverg, 2006). Aunque algunos autores reconocen la utilidad del marco de los stakeholders para el análisis de la diversidad de género en los Consejos de Administración (Dimovski y Brooks, 2008), es escasa la literatura que relaciona directamente ambos conceptos (Grosser y Moon, 2008;Grosser, 2009). Tradicionalmente, los temas relativos al género son considerados demandas del personal de la empresa (Agle et al, 1999).…”

“…Sin embargo, mientras que el impacto en la gestión medioambiental ha sido objeto de estudio ampliamente (Reed, 2008), las investigaciones sobre la relación entre stakeholders y gestión de la diversidad son escasas (Grosser y Moon, 2008;Grosser, 2009). Debido a la falta de estudios acerca de los grupos que podrían calificarse de stakeholders en relación con la igualdad de oportunidades entre hombres y mujeres, hemos elegido como referencia inicial los utilizados en relación al medioambiente, y concretamente estudios empíricos realizados con muestras españolas (Díez et al, 2008;Fernández y Nieto, 2004), dado que los stakeholders seleccionados en estos estudios pueden compartir sensibilidades hacia el tema la presencia equilibrada.…”

Recent Spanish law and regulations have turned gender balance on Boards of Directors into a necessary element to manage in companies. The aim of this paper is to identify the stakeholders demanding such gender balance to companies, according to the Methodology of Mitchell et al. (1997) and Agle et al. (1999). The results sugest the shareholders are the most important group, so it seems that the financial goals continue being a priority. But we also observe that the Government is perceived as a very important stakeholder. Despite managers acknowledge the Government has a lot of power, its importance is explained by urgency and legitimacy attributes. This fact makes us doubting about the effectiveness of any development of a compulsory law, beyond the current one.

Recent studies have investigated how women on boards impact corporate social responsibility reporting, a voluntary strategy clearly influenced by board composition in general and gender diversity in particular. However, this research goes further and proposes to provide evidence about how female directors influence gender issues reporting. Moreover, this research also examines the moderating effect between gender diversity on boards and country-level factors related to stakeholder orientation. For an international sample of 8,609 firm-year observations from 2007 to 2016 and by regressing several logit models for panel data, it was found that female directors increase the probability of voluntary reporting on gender issues. Moreover, the findings also suggest that institutional forces related to stakeholder pressures reinforce this effect; the greater reporting on gender issues that female directors achieve is even higher when firms are located in stakeholder-oriented countries.
