Abstrakt

W kontekście rosnącego geopolitycznego i ekonomicznego znaczenia gospodarek wschodzących, celem tego artykułu jest ustalenie, czy firmy funkcjonujące w ramach tych gospodarek są gotowe dostosować swoją zwiększoną wagę ekonomiczną do większej odpowiedzialności społecznej. Biorąc pod uwagę względną rzadkość badań prowadzonych w zakresie raportowania praktyk na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju w krajach BRICS (Brazylii, Rosji, Indii, Chinach i RPA), szczególną uwagę należy zwrócić na firmy pochodzące z tych właśnie krajów. W badaniach przeprowadzono analizę różnic odnoszących się do firm z grupy krajów BRICS w kontekście różnych wskaźników związanych z raportowaniem praktyk na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju. Celem była ocena praktyk raportowania odpowiedzialności korporacyjnej z wykorzystaniem platformy GRI opracowanej przez Global Reporting Initiative. Ocena wybranych firm ukazała zróżnicowanie, jakie występuje w poszczególnych krajach wschodzących gospodarek w zakresie realizowanych praktyk. Indie osiągają najwyższe wyniki we wszystkich wymiarach rozwoju zrównoważonego, tj. gospodarczym, środowiskowym i społecznym, za nimi plasują się Chiny, podczas gdy rosyjskie firmy osiągają słabsze wyniki we wszystkich kategoriach. Wiodącą branżą zgodną z praktykami raportowania GRI w przypadku Indii jest przemysł sprzętu i oprogramowania (z poziomem zrównoważoności wynoszącym 94,02%), a w Brazylii przemysł papierniczy(z wynikiem wiarygodności 87,97%). W Rosji jest to przemysł petrochemiczny i gazowy (60,84%), podczas gdy w Chinach przemysł samochodowy i transportowy (71,06%), natomiast w RPA sprzedaż detaliczna (62,84%).


Słowa kluczowe:

raportowanie praktyk zrównoważonego rozwoju, wskaźniki GRI, wschodzące gospodarki
