Divulgations environnementales : quel référentiel pour quelles fins ?

Abstract

International audience; GRI offers an international reference to firm’s stakeholders interested in social and environmental disclosures. However these disclosures target first and foremost investors, especially for listed firms. The environmental disclosure scores of 120 randomly selected European companies help us determine how their disclosures capture environmental information useful to all stakeholders (GRI scores) or to investors only (EFFAS scores). Our results show that GRI scores are to a large extent driven by the firm’s exposure to environmental risks. In contrast, EFFAS scores are driven by shareholding dispersion and, therefore, pressures exerted by investors. This suggests that environmental disclosures respond to a logic of environmental legitimacy when investors’ pressure is weak. Otherwise they aim to satisfy investors’ expectations.; Référence internationale en matière de reporting extra financier le GRI s’adresse à tous les partenaires de l’entreprise. Les investisseurs sont toutefois les destinataires privilégiés du reporting environnemental, surtout si l’entreprise est cotée. Les scores de divulgation environnementale de 120 entreprises européennes nous permettent de déterminer comment les entreprises cotées répondent aux prescriptions du GRI qui reflètent les attentes de l’ensemble des parties prenantes de l’entreprise et à celles de l’EFFAS qui reflètent les attentes des seuls investisseurs. Nos résultats montrent que les déterminants des scores de divulgation GRI différent des déterminants des scores EFFAS au sens où seuls les scores GRI sont sensibles à l’exposition environnementale de l’entreprise. Les scores EFFAS dépendent quant à eux de la pression des investisseurs. Il apparaît donc que les divulgations environnementales répondent à une logique de légitimité environnementale lorsque la pression des investisseurs est faible. Elles visent prioritairement à satisfaire les investisseurs dans le cas contraire.
