海外企业社会责任披露制度及借鉴

与传统信息披露制度要求公司披露财务方面的信息不同，社会责任信息披露要求公司从经济、环境和社会业绩三个方面揭示公司政策和经营活动对社会的影响。联合国以及经合组织在其制定的有关跨国公司的行为准则中均要求企业披露其社会责任方面的信息。美国、欧盟等也有关于企业社会责任信息披露方面的专门立法。我国在企业社会责任信息披露方面尚处于摸索阶段，需借鉴国外的经验以完善我国的企业社会责任信息披露制度。

企业社会责任信息披露在欧洲

一、欧洲企业社会责任发展概况企业社会责任(Corporate Social Responsibility,简称CSR)概念于20世纪20年代产生于西方发达国家。20世纪80年代左右,社会责任运动在欧洲兴起,包括环保、劳工和人权等方面的内容。一些涉及绿色和平、环保、社会责任和人权等的非政府组织以及舆论不断呼吁企业承担社会责任,迫于日益增大的压力和自身的发展需要,很多欧洲跨国公司纷纷制定对社会作出必要承诺的责任守则(包括社会责任),或通过环境、职业健康、社会责任认证应对不同利益团体的需要。经过几十年的发展,欧洲各国的企业社会责任已从当初以处理劳工冲突和环保问题为主要功能提升到实施企业社会

国外公司社会责任报告主要模式述评

面对全球公司社会责任报告日益增多但又缺乏统一标准的情况，一些国际非政府组织开始着手建立统一的社会责任报告标准，形成了三种主要的报告模式：“全球报告行动”的G3报告框架、“国际社会责任”的SAS000标准，以及“社会和伦理责任协会”的AA1000系列。这三种模式在推动社会责任报告的共同目标下，既相互独立、各有侧重又相互联系、互为补充，同时也为认识我国公司社会责任报告的必要性、统一性和目的性提供了有益的启示。     

Shareholder election of CSR committee members and its effects on CSR performance

We examine the election of directors to corporate social responsibility (CSR) committees and whether shareholder votes influence CSR committee effectiveness. Our study is motivated by the importance that shareholders place on CSR and the responsibilities of the board in overseeing a firm's CSR practices. We find that CSR committee members receive greater shareholder support than other directors. We further find that among CSR committee members, those who are more experienced and skilled receive greater shareholder support. Furthermore, when a firm's CSR performance is poorer (better), CSR committee members receive lower (greater) shareholder support compared with other directors. Finally, we find that through voting, shareholders can increase the efficacy of the CSR committee, leading to improvements in CSR committee structure and performance. Overall, our results suggest that shareholders value the services and expertise of CSR committee members and hold them accountable for CSR performance. Shareholder votes are also effective in enhancing CSR performance.     

The effect of mandatory CSR disclosure on firm profitability and social externalities: Evidence from China

We examine how mandatory disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR) impacts firm performance and social externalities. Our analysis exploits China's 2008 mandate requiring firms to disclose CSR activities, using a difference-in-differences design. Although the mandate does not require firms to spend on CSR, we find that mandatory CSR reporting firms experience a decrease in profitability subsequent to the mandate. In addition, the cities most impacted by the disclosure mandate experience a decrease in their industrial wastewater and SO₂ emission levels. These findings suggest that mandatory CSR disclosure alters firm behavior and generates positive externalities at the expense of shareholders.     

A Textual Analysis of US Corporate Social Responsibility Reports

We employ computer-based textual analysis to examine disclosure patterns for a sample of US corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports from the period 2002–2016. Starting from 466 features commonly used in computational linguistics, our results show that the linguistics or disclosure patterns in CSR reports can be used to accurately predict the actual CSR performance type of CSR reporters. Specifically, we find that the two most commonly used disclosure characteristics, number of words and number of sentences, alone can be used to predict reporting firms’ CSR performance type with 81% accuracy. The accuracy of prediction increases to 96% when the top 50 linguistics features most relevant to firms’ CSR performance are included in the prediction model. In addition, we find that the linguistic features of CSR disclosure identified by our study are incrementally value relevant to investors even after controlling for the actual CSR performance score from the professional CSR rating agencies. This finding suggests that the linguistic features of CSR disclosure can be an important venue for capital market participants in evaluating firms’ CSR performance type, especially when professional CSR performance ratings are not available.     

Mandatory CSR expenditure and firm performance

India has recently mandated corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure under section 135 of the Indian Companies Act 2013 – the first national jurisdiction to do so. In line with the “shareholder value maximization” concept, we document the positive impacts of CSR expenditure on firm performance measured by return on asset and cash flow from operations. Additionally, we find that, despite the regulatory requirement, mandated CSR legislation is a significant but not the sole determinant of actual CSR spending by firms; rather, firm-specific economic factors such as size, level of cash balance and cash flow from operations have a moderating effect. We also observe that CSR expenditure contributes to firm performance irrespective of the level of actual CSR expenditure relative to the level of mandatory CSR expenditure. Our findings potentially reconcile conflicting results presented in the literature and provide valuable information for governments and regulatory authorities that are considering the mandatory implementation of CSR expenditure.     

Corporate social responsibility and financial fraud: evidence from China

This paper investigates the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial fraud in China. We find that CSR scores are negatively associated with fraudulent financial activities, suggesting that CSR firms are less likely to engage in financial fraud. The results also indicate that the negative relation is more significant for CSR performance than CSR disclosure. Additionally, we demonstrate that the negative effect of CSR is more pronounced for firms with voluntary CSR practices, continuous CSR engagements, financial pressure and internal control weaknesses. Overall, we find that CSR is an ethical behaviour that reduces financial misconduct.     

国外企业慈善研究述评

西方学术界对企业慈善的研究历史较长,研究也较深入。大部分西方学者认为企业慈善捐赠是企业履行社会责任的一种形式,并从企业内部结构、企业绩效、市场反应、税收激励等方面对企业慈善捐赠进行了实证研究。这些研究成果不仅推动了企业慈善的研究,也对企业慈善的发展产生了积极影响。国外企业慈善研究,从理论到实证,从数据到方法,都值得我国学术界学习和借鉴。     

赤道银行盈利问题研究——绿色金融背景下企业社会责任和财务绩效关联的再探讨

本文以赤道原则为例,对企业社会责任和财务绩效之间的关系进行了实证研究。运用最早的10家赤道银行2005-2012年的面板数据构建回归模型,探究金融机构采纳赤道原则与盈利间是否相关,如何相关。结果表明,在充分考虑滞后的前提下,金融机构在低风险C类项目、基础设施和可再生能源、新兴市场国家三类融资数目均与盈利正相关。文章最后提出结合国情引入赤道原则并保证融资方针连续性的建议。     

上市公司社会责任报告解读与完善建议
