Повний текст джерелаThe objectives of this study were: to understand the process of environmental disclosures operating within a conservation organisation; to identify the nature of and rationales for particular environmental disclosures made by the organisation; and to observe the development of the environmental disclosure policy, media and content of the organisation as it underwent significant change. The investigative approach adopted in the study identified a level of complexity associated with the process of disclosure that would otherwise remained concealed.

Повний текст джерелаDuring recent decades, the local, national, and global effects of human activities on the physical environment have increased immensely. Consequently, comprehensive policies have been developed and implemented to ensure that companies outlay a high level of social responsibility to the environment. Equally, research literature and international policies have subjected a full angle of interest in the provision that corporations should disclose their annual activities that have an impact on the wellbeing of the physical environment. According to research, companies have increased their environmental responsibility by providing voluntary yearly ecological reports that outlay the company’s financial and non-financial, quantitative and qualitative social activities on an annual base. For a long time, scholars have addressed environmental disclosure as a broad topic; it is seen as encompassing the evolution of the responsible nature of these companies. However, the study aims to identify the extent to which the annual report coincides with the actual responsibility that these companies deliver. Without a doubt, companies around the globe may provide clear and consistent environmental disclosures; however recent analytical interest in the area has suggested that these revelations are only delivered to suit the wellbeing of the company. For instance, mining companies are profoundly scrutinised and thus affected by the social environment, other primary, secondary and service industries are also under public social scrutiny. This is especially motivated by the fact that; mining companies form a substantial basis of the Australian economy. The study aims at performing content analysis on 75 annual reports on companies from different industry groups in the country. The purpose of the study is to identify whether environment disclosures serve as social or financial rehabilitation attempts by these companies, or they fulfil the required function. The study analyses the consequence of the environmental disclosure requirement in the corporate field of the country and will look to evaluate how companies have integrated the condition either as self-beneficial or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This research identified that all the publicly listed service companies are disclosing environmental issues in their annual reports. However, when a company’s operation is directly involved with environmental issue then they provide significant environmental disclosure in their annual report. According to the findings of this research, a key exception is revealed. Ironically universities who are not in-fact directly involved in activities that cause interaction with the natural environment they none the less overtly express their environmental concerns. They do this via environmental reports and by setting up courses and topics within discrete courses which analyse and investigate environmental issues. In this way, they educate and raise awareness through vigorous academic methodology, and importantly they set an exemplary standard and benchmark. This research found that companies are disclosing Environmental Disclosure (ED) due to CSR and Stakeholders pressure. However, they do have a legislative requirement to disclose this information in the annual report (Chuang and Huang, 2018). In Australia, companies are disclosing CSR information according to their business nature; when they are heavily involved with environmental issues, they do provide adequate disclosed information. In contrast, where companies are having less interaction with the environmental issue at that time due to legitimacy issues they provide ED to have better acceptance in the society.
Perey, R. "Ecological imaginaries : organising sustainability." Thesis, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10453/23482.
Повний текст джерелаThis thesis investigates organisational enactment of sustainability. The problematic addressed is that despite strong evidence supporting human induced global ecological damage, organisational practices remain unchanged and continue to degrade ecological systems. The question addressed is what factors contribute to the inertia that inhibits change for ecological sustainability in organisations? The question is addressed from the perspectives of individuals who are stakeholders in organisations. The modern concept of sustainability arose during the 1970s and selected aspects of sustainability discourses, for example the concept of the triple bottom line (TBL), have since been integrated into the organising narratives of organisation and society. Despite such success, indicators such as human induced climate change, biodiversity loss and growing inequalities between rich and poor, suggest that mainstream institutions have not taken up change for sustainability. The proposition of this thesis is that alteration to our social imaginary (ies) is a necessary precursor to enactment of sustainability. The thesis presents findings from three case studies: Landcare, Corcon and Carepoint. These organisations were selected because they represented different sectors and each had initiated a formal sustainability change project: Corcon is an engineering organisation, Carepoint a community services not-for-profit organisation and Landcare an agricultural organisation. Landcare highlights the dialogue that nature has with individuals and organisations and how recognising this dialogue can lead to ecological solutions for sustainability. The Corcon case contributes the importance of boundaries defining inclusion and exclusion as moral constraints and enablers to developing sustainability solutions and the Carepoint case demonstrates that the multiplicity of competing sustainability discourses are understood by individuals who then make decisions based on the context of the dominant imaginary within which they are situated. These findings from the research highlight barriers concerned with meaning construction that view nature as an excluded other. I argue that the adoption of ecological sustainability by organisations and society needs new narratives to facilitate the emergence of meanings of ecological sustainability conducive to the inclusion of nature. The synthesis of these findings presents two possibilities for stimulating the creation of meaning construction that would facilitate an inclusive approach to nature. The first possibility is the Australian Aboriginal concept of Country, which offers a new source of logics upon which the development of a new socio-political sustainability imaginary may draw. The second possibility argues for the need to create a new social imaginary to support ecological sustainability. A contribution of this thesis is to provide the alternative frame of metabolic organisation to extant models of weak and strong sustainability to stimulate the creation of new ecological imaginaries. Metabolic organisation is defined as a systemic framework comprising three interdependent concepts: metabolism, values and enmeshment, and brings together three distinct strands of theory: social and biological metabolism, value theory and ecological theories.

Повний текст джерелаDecisions to invest in green initiatives (green products and green innovations) are generally made after considerable discussion and market research by any organisation. Green initiatives cover a wide range of business activities which can result in positive and negative outcomes along the entire supply chain. Organisations are being encouraged by governments, societies and other stakeholders to conduct their business activities in a manner that minimises risk and damage to the environment, economy and society, while still pursuing improvements in product life cycle performances. Green initiatives are a management tool that can assist in meeting these demands with the rewards of delivering benefits back to the company through creating a competitive advantage and contributing to the firm’s Corporate Social Responsibility profile. The aim of this study is to explore the reasons why organisations initiate green strategies and the effectiveness of the introduced ‘green’ initiatives in the Australian marketplace. A positivism philosophy is adopted in this empirical research, which includes using a deductive research approach with a quantitative research instrument to collect and measure responses from 53 Australian green product manufacturers. The collected data is analysed using causal analysis to investigate the hypotheses developed to answer the research question. A quantitative approach is justified as the research is based on similar work conducted in the northern hemisphere. Environmental investment research has received considerable interest in the northern hemisphere in the domain of corporate ‘green’ initiatives. However, this research focuses on Australian organisations that have implemented ‘green’ initiatives to investigate if their investments are delivering the sought after benefits. The findings from the research support the research question that green product strategies can both deliver a competitive advantage and contribute to enhancing an organisation's corporate social responsibility profile. The research findings suggest that green strategy actions will indirectly increase financial improvements in the process of corporate social responsibility. In a similar fashion, green strategy actions will indirectly increase price premiums through having a competitive advantage. The analysis reveals that corporate social responsibility and competitive advantage are important mediators of the relationships between variables. Implications from the research are discussed and future research opportunities are presented, along with the limitations of the current work.
