White Tigers, Zoos and Sustainability Reporting: A Cynical Reflection

White Tigers, Zoos and Sustainability Reporting: A Cynical Reflection This essay reflects on the growing trend of standalone corporate social responsibility reports. And although several recently published studies seem to suggest that at least some users of the reports find value in them, particularly when they are deemed to be of higher quality, I offer an argument that in their current voluntary state, the practice may be more harmful than beneficial. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Social and Environmental Accountability Journal Taylor & Francis
