Research Abstract |
We analyzed the letters from CEO in the environmental reports disclosed by listed companies, and abstracted characteristic words from them. There is a particularly interesting result that companies, which are active in environmental investments, explain the detail about environmental technology in product development, whereas companies, which passively invest to environment, explain only abstract concepts such as CSR. The research into environmental accounting has mainly focused on quantitative aspects of environmental activities, but our findings from qualitative aspects provide a meaningful implication for future research interests.
