La responsabilité sociale des entreprises : un levier pour l'audit externe des rapports environnementaux ?

Abstract

Our society pays increasingly attention to the sustainable development and to the respect of the environment. The trend to be green encourages companies to be socially responsible. To prove their CSR, companies make extra financials reports. The problem of these reports is that few of them are externally audited. Only some regulations oblige companies to make their environmental report audited, otherwise it is mainly a voluntary request. Consequently, we do not really know if the data included in the reports are correct and we are not sure of what is actually done by the companies to be responsible. This essay question about the tools that are levers to the request of external audit for environmental reports and especially if the CSR is one of the lever.
