Since the voluntary environmental reporting of companies started in the late eighties, there has been a profusion of literature describing why a company should report and what principles should be followed. This thesis takes a less prescriptive approach by investigating what explains the environmental communication in some Italian firms in the Energy and the Ceramic sectors.

The findings have implications at both policy and company level, indicating ample scope for improvement in policies promoting the greening of the industries, and in their environmental strategies and environmental communication, which could provide consequences for the future competitiveness of these firms (Less)
