Project description
Companies are under increasing pressure to report on how sustainability issues (including climate change) affect the company. The aim of this project is to study the determinants and consequences of the heterogeneity in such reporting from various perspectives, including the agency and signalling perspectives. Special attention is given to the role of the organizations' shareholder and board structures, the role of the externe auditor, and the implications for the financing and performance of companies.
