On Corporate Social Reporting

On corporate social reporting Ecoefficiency as a corporate interpretation of sustainability is being superseded by the incorporation of the social dimension into business. The major players could easily handle ecoefficiency. It fitted neatly into environmental reporting via the voluntary codes of ISO 14001 and environmental auditing and management systems of the EU (EMAS). It also encouraged firms to adopt better management strategies for environmental regulation, for proactive technological investment in clean technology and energy conservation, and for glossy environmental report cards aimed at assuaging shareholders and market analysts.Virtually every company worth its salt has embarked on the ecoefficiency trade, with more or less enthusiasm.
