Abstract

Corporate social responsibility1 (CSR) has been widely discussed, and this term has been growing in importance in various fields of business studies, for example accounting (Gray et al., 1995a). In particular, CSR is often associated with the gradual increase in corporate reporting of social and environmental policies and practices. According to KPMG’s (2011) survey, 95% of the largest global 250 companies in the world report on their CSR, and this activity is often known as corporate social disclosure (CSD). Prior CSD studies have paid relatively little attention to controversial industries (see Campbell et al., 2003; Moerman & Van Der Laan, 2005; Tilling & Tilt, 2010).
