Environmental reportingThis is the element of CSR which has attracted the most attention in recent years, a reflection of the growing importance of environmental issues in political, business and everyday life. Many companies provide environmental information within their annual reports and some (for example, British Telecom) provide separate environmental reports. While there are undoubtedly positive examples of objective and informative reporting much has been criticised for being subjective, selective and lacking quantification and external verification, undertaken primarily as a public relations exercise rather than to render an account (Butler et al . 1992: 73). The selectivity of environmental reporting must raise questions about the ethical motivations of the reporting companies. As Welford (1996) argues, the ‘hijacking’ of the environmentalist agenda by business may have more to do with ‘cherry picking’ specific environmental benefits for the short term financial benefit of the company than any concern for the current and future stakeholders of the organisation.
