Value creation disclosure in CSR reports: evidence from Poland Nowadays, many companies are involved in the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and they perceive it as a source of value creation. But the question arises if companies measure and report the value created via CSR engagement or whether they present mainly descriptive information concerning their actions and activities within CSR. The aim of this paper is to present what the CSR reporting prac- tices in Poland are concerning value creation measurement and disclosure. The theoretical concept of value creation via CSR activities is analyzed and confronted with a practical disclosure in all the CSR reports published by Polish companies in the years 2013-2015. To achieve the research aim, a literature review, content analysis of source documents (CSR reports), synthesis, and the deductive method were used. In the paper, the descriptive approach to accounting is applied.

Islamic Banking works in an economy and achieving the ideal position of Shariah financial institution requires continuous improvement and indicators. The right values and environment of a bank that is operating based on Shariah are important to ensure that the delivery services could be executed in the best manner possible. Islamic Bank therefore should embed with social and the charity work network for the purpose of its corporate social responsibility to the community. The fundamental issue which is due to the lack of focus on prioritising the social objective of Islamic organisations based on Shariah leads to the inadequacy of conventional CSR theories to underpin CSR practices of Islamic organisations. The existing concept of CSR is grounded on western perspectives, and it will be a great implication to delve into CSR within the Islamic perspectives. Therefore, the objective of this study to examine the extent of CSR based on Maqasid Al Shariah in terms of four dimensions of the Islamic Banks sector between Malaysia and the MENA region for the period of 2013 to 2018. This study employed a content analysis method to collect quantitative data on CSR based on Maqasid Al-Shariah in the Bank Islam annual report and stand-alone sustainability report. The content analysis was carried out to achieve this objective. The investigation on the content is based on CSR reporting in their annual report and stand-alone sustainability report according to what has been provided by the banks. The results of the analyses provide significant insight into the amount and nature of CSR among Islamic Banks across sectors. Generally, the CSR activities cover all organization activities related to the organization and its various stakeholder. Finally, through mean score ranking for CSRD items shows that there was a mixed ranking for CSR based on Maqasid Al-Shariah dimension and element in Malaysia and MENA region.

Smaller companies’ understanding of and attitude toward corporate social responsibility (CSR), both in terms of actions and disclosure, is distinct from that of other organizations, including large public interest entities (PIEs) that dominate the existing literature in the field. In this study, we examine the interdependencies between non-large PIEs’ CSR practices and disclosures with the use of the organizational hypocrisy concept as a theoretical lens. Our sample consists of 111 companies operating in Poland and pursuing 646 CSR-related practices in 2017. We perform content analysis of their websites using the disclosure index to assess the extent of their CSR disclosures. The total number of observations equals 1227. Both practices and disclosures are analyzed according to ISO 26000 standards. The relationship between the sample companies’ CSR talk and actions is analyzed by means of the Pearson coefficient. Our findings suggest that CSR practices and disclosures of non-large PIEs are loosely coupled. For the whole sample and for the non-SMEs (small and medium sized entities) subsample, the strongest association between the two was observed as regards the organizational governance area. As far as the SMEs are concerned, the statistically significant association between their CSR reporting and actions was identified for the environmental area. Our study contributes to the CSR literature, as it provides new insights into the relation between voluntary CSR talk and actions of non-large PIEs operating in a relatively unexplored setting.

Public awareness of farm animal welfare has been growing. However, the animal welfare disclosure, as an important element of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting, has not been sufficiently explored. This paper investigates animal welfare disclosure practices as well as the determinants of animal welfare disclosure practices of 2019 corporate reports using a sample of Chinese A-share listed food firms. Content analysis of corporate reports is employed for exploring animal welfare disclosure practices and an animal welfare disclosure index is adopted as the instrument for content analysis. The analysis reveals that animal welfare reporting is still in its embryonic stage in China. It is further found that firm size, board size, and board independence positively affects animal welfare disclosure practices, while CEO duality has a negative impact. As the first to examine the determinants of animal welfare disclosure practices, this paper would have some implications for academics, practitioners, and policymakers.

Corporate Social Responsibility reporting has grown increasingly in importance for companies in terms of portraying themselves as good corporate citizens. However, when confronted with a major corporate crisis that evoked an extensive loss in stakeholders’ trust, it remained unclear, how to further deal with the need for CSR communication without presenting oneself as exceedingly hypocritical. In the course of this study, the questions of how and to what extent crises cause change in a corporation’s CSR rhetoric were addressed. Therefore, the utilization of the rhetorical dimensions of logos, ethos, pathos, cosmos and autopoiesis as well as the amount of negative disclosure in the CSR reports of the world’s leading automobile companies (Toyota, General Motors, Volkswagen) were analyzed, one year before and one year after they had maneuvered themselves into a corporate crisis. The rhetorical analysis revealed that the distinctive context of each case (including the corporations’ responsibility for the crisis) dictated the rhetorical adjustments of the CSR reporting after the crisis. Moreover, it could be shown, that when reporting on the crisis cause itself, corporations tend to apply the dimension of ethos more frequently to counter the audience’s potential perception of their hypocrisy.
