“…It has been suggested that emerging markets have a tendency to show weaker measures of corporate governance and sustainability (Peters, Miller and Kusyk 2011). However, it is difficult to evaluate the interaction between corporate governance characteristics and the extent of sustainability disclosure in emerging economies since little has been published on this issue.…”

Sustainability and corporate governance issues are now considered to be important and integral aspects of company performance. Both have established themselves as well-studied topics in the organisational and accountability areas. While there has been a growing interest to study the relationship between these two areas, research publication in this topic is still mainly focused on the Western societies. This study focuses on the corporate governance and sustainability disclosure practices in one of the emerging economies, Indonesia, and assesses the relationships between corporate governance variables and the extent of environmental disclosures made by the mining companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in their annual reports. The main findings of this study show that the extent of environmental disclosure made by these companies was moderate, and that there is a significant positive relationship between the size of board of directors and the extent of environmental disclosure.

“…A focus on the East must therefore be considered, plus the developing nations and emerging markets of these regions. It must be acknowledged that a ''one size fits all'' CSR systems based on Western codes and regulations should not necessarily be implemented in the East, or in developing countries or emerging markets (Peters et al 2011).…”

Overall, findings suggest a broader and more contemporary definition be utilised and communicated back to stakeholders to increase understanding of company specific CSR strategy. Significant differences were found across nationality groups in the MEA region, suggesting a need to incorporate cultural differences and the perceptions of different nationality groups in CSR planning. Recommendations for CSR strategy in emerging markets such as MEA are made, and are discussed in light of religious beliefs, culture and country of origin.

“…What one must remember here is that, the very concept of CSR differs between these two economies in terms of its definition as well as implementation. And, there is no comprehensive, "one size fits all" global corporate governance or CSR system, based on western codes and regulations that can be implemented in emerging markets (Peters et al 2011), hence, it is better to limit our study of CSR to the emerging markets alone for a focused approach.…”

Emerging economies face a plethora of social, economic and environmental issues. On the one hand, these have adverse effects that negatively impact the overall development of such economies; and on the other, they offer challenges which when addressed, help these economies to chart a course of integrated and inclusive growth, thus providing them with an opportunity for national development. India is no different. It has rural Bharat on one side that is steeped in illiteracy, poverty on the one hand and, a literate, rich, glitzy, corporate, urban India on the other; thereby fortifying the predicaments of an emerging nation. This paper, through an analysis of the socio-economic dilemmas and challenges of an emerging nation like that of India and scrutinizing the roles and responsibilities of Corporations to combat such a quandary through CSR, introduces the 'Chatterjee Model,' that urges, from a policy-maker's point of view, that CSR should contribute to the national agenda of a country, helping it to accelerate its transition from an emerging to a developed nation.
