Abstract

This chapter aims to identify basic pillars around which issues related to non-financial reporting are going to be outlined by testing the quality of information presented by the top 50 largest listed companies according to non-financial reporting criteria, considering the environment, human and social resources, human rights, and the fight against corruption. By highlighting the diversity of information disclosed by the corporations (i.e., the economic, social, and environmental impact caused by the daily activities carried out), common benchmarks that determine the quality assurance are ascertained. Research methods include quantitative analysis of the sustainability reports, along with the authors' observation regarding the existing frame of reference. Findings show that there is significant diversity in how non-financial information regarding CSR is disclosed. Modeling a unitary reporting framework could be the keystone to which companies could relate in ensuring a good correlation with users' need for accurate, reliable, and relevant information.
