ABSTRACT Humanity aspires to live in harmony with nature. The difficult question is: how can such harmony be achieved? In the Anthropocene, nature is socio-ecological systems. This changes how we can think about the role played by accounting in achieving some kind of harmonious co-existence with nature. It is not just about tracking the deleterious impacts of one domain (i.e. human society) upon another domain (i.e. nature). Rather, accounting becomes a vital force in the organising of socio-ecological systems. Nature conservation can be understood to be the work of organising socio-ecological systems with the aim of protecting and sustaining ecological processes and biological diversity. The papers in this SEAJ special issue on Accounting and Conservation explore how all manner of accounting practices facilitate the organisational work involved in conserving the socio-ecological systems comprising nature on Earth.
人类渴望与自然和谐相处。困难的问题是:如何才能实现这样的和谐?在人类世,自然是一个社会生态系统。这改变了我们对会计在实现某种与自然和谐共存方面所起作用的看法。它不仅仅是追踪一个领域(即人类社会)对另一个领域的有害影响(即自然)。相反,会计成为组织社会生态系统的重要力量。自然保护可以理解为组织社会生态系统的工作,目的是保护和维持生态过程和生物多样性。本期SEAJ会计与保护特刊中的论文探讨了各种会计实践如何促进保护地球上自然组成的社会生态系统的组织工作。

Corporate reporting metamorphosis: empirical findings from state-owned enterprises 企业报告蜕变:来自国有企业的实证研究

Nicolo and colleagues examine the level of compliance and the factors determining such compliance in the context of integrated reporting by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Europe. The study uses content analysis and an ordinary least square regression of integrated reports issued in 2016 by 34 SOEs representing 12 European countries. The content analysis was undertaken by developing a binary non-weighted disclosure index. The index was developed by assigning a score of one for every item on the Integrated Reporting Framework (IRF) disclosed by each firm under study, whereas a score of zero for the absence. The IRF is not mandatory but it is one of the reporting frameworks suggested by Directive 2014/95/EU which imposes the SOEs under study to report their non-financial issues. Despite being voluntary, the authors use the term ‘compliance’ with the framework to constitute the disclosed items on the IRF. The content analysis reveals that the firms under study fairly complied with the IRF requirements. Meanwhile, the regression analysis shows that firm size and sensitive industries were positively associated with the level of compliance, but the length of the report was negatively associated with the compliance level. A closer look at the compliance measurement suggests that the more items on the IRF were disclosed in the report, the higher the degree of compliance. However, this compliance potentially reflects ‘box-ticking’ behaviour, seeking legitimacy by symbolically meeting the IRF requirements without substantively showing social and environmental improvements in the area where the firms operated. Such symbolic behaviour may potentially also exist in mandatory settings under the Directive 2014/95/EU, where the ‘normativity of the law’ determines how influential the mandatory reporting requirements are, and therefore how likely they are to be complied with. In this regard, compliance with the mandatory reporting requirements of Directive 2014/95/EU is intimately entwined with the perception of reporters as to whether the requirements are binding. The normativity of the law in this context implies that SOEs may decouple the disclosure of items on the IRF from the actual practice when the mandatory reporting requirements of the Directive 2014/95/EU are perceived contradictive with their organisational objectives. Future research can explore reporters’ perceptions of the normativity of the mandatory reporting requirements through interviews and then link these perceptions to a longitudinal study of disclosure level in integrated reports. Such a study, rather than a cross-sectional one, can facilitate the examination of corporate reporting ‘metamorphosis’ over time. The interviews, along with the longitudinal study, can also explore whether disclosures in the integrated reports under study capture the actual practice – confirming whether this is symbolic or substantive compliance.
Nicolo及其同事研究了欧洲国有企业(SOEs)在综合报告背景下的合规水平和决定此类合规的因素。该研究对代表12个欧洲国家的34家国有企业2016年发布的综合报告进行了内容分析和普通最小二乘回归。内容分析是通过开发一个二元非加权披露指数进行的。该指数是通过为被研究的每家公司披露的综合报告框架(IRF)上的每个项目分配1分来开发的,而没有的得分为0分。IRF不是强制性的,但它是2014/95/EU指令建议的报告框架之一,该指令要求正在研究的国有企业报告其非财务问题。尽管是自愿的,但作者使用术语“遵守”框架来构成IRF上的披露项目。内容分析表明,所研究的公司公平地遵守了IRF的要求。同时,回归分析表明,企业规模和敏感行业与合规水平呈正相关,而报告篇幅与合规水平呈负相关。仔细观察合规度量表明,报告中披露的IRF项目越多,合规程度就越高。然而,这种合规性可能反映了“打勾”的行为,通过象征性地满足IRF的要求来寻求合法性,而没有实质性地显示公司经营所在地区的社会和环境改善。根据2014/95/EU号指令,这种象征性行为也可能存在于强制性环境中,其中“法律的规范性”决定了强制性报告要求的影响力,从而决定了遵守这些要求的可能性。在这方面,遵守2014/95/EU指令的强制性报告要求与记者对要求是否具有约束力的看法密切相关。在这种情况下,法律的规范性意味着,当2014/95/EU指令的强制性报告要求被认为与其组织目标相矛盾时,国有企业可能会将IRF项目的披露与实际做法脱钩。未来的研究可以通过访谈探讨记者对强制性报告要求规范性的看法,然后将这些看法与综合报告披露水平的纵向研究联系起来。这样的研究,而不是横断面研究,可以促进对公司报告随时间“蜕变”的研究。访谈以及纵向研究还可以探讨所研究的综合报告中的披露是否符合实际做法-确认这是象征性的还是实质性的合规。

Assessing the Emancipatory Nature of Chinese Extinction Accounting 论中国灭绝会计的解放性

ABSTRACT The majority of research into corporate reporting on biodiversity and conservation generally concludes that such reporting is dominated by impression management, corporate self-interest and an anthropocentric mindset. This has led many researchers to dismiss corporate reporting, focusing increasingly on the activities of NGOs, the public sector and government level reporting. However, recent work has explored the potential for a corporate reporting (and reporting by other entities) to encapsulate emancipatory elements, where such elements demonstrate at least an intention to be transformative and emancipatory in the sense of improving conservation, enhancing biodiversity protection and, critically, preventing species extinctions. Extinction accounting that provides details on how a company is protecting/restoring habitat, enhancing biodiversity, and taking a dynamic approach to conservation could, potentially, lead to ecological and environmental improvements. Chinese listed companies have not, to date, received attention from researchers in relation to extinction accounting. This paper seeks to analyse an extensive sample of Chinese listed companies in a high ecological impact sector to assess the extent to which their biodiversity disclosures are dominated by impression management, in order to identify any elements of the reporting that could be interpreted as emancipatory extinction accounting. We respond to a call from the literature to research extinction accounting by companies in developing economies, given the paucity of the research in this area. Our findings suggest that despite a strong tendency for companies to reveal impression management and self-interest in their disclosures, there are examples of emancipatory extinction accounting, where they appear to be eliciting genuine transformation in their conservation behaviours and activities. Further, we identify species-specific, species-centric reporting as a significant element of extinction accounting, demonstrating the way in which emancipatory extinction accounting is growing and evolving in practice. This represents a significant contribution to the existing literature as previous research in the mining industry found only anthropocentric’ legitimacy-dominated extinction accounting. It is encouraging that elements of an emancipatory extinction accounting are beginning to emerge in reporting practice in a high impact sector in a developing economy.
摘要大多数关于生物多样性和保护的企业报告研究通常得出结论,这种报告主要由印象管理、企业自身利益和以人类为中心的心态主导。这导致许多研究人员忽视了公司报告,越来越多地关注非政府组织、公共部门和政府层面的报告活动。然而,最近的工作探索了公司报告(以及其他实体的报告)包含解放要素的潜力,这些要素至少表明了在改善保护、加强生物多样性保护以及至关重要的是防止物种灭绝的意义上具有变革性和解放性的意图。灭绝会计提供了公司如何保护/恢复栖息地、增强生物多样性以及采取动态保护方法的详细信息,这可能会导致生态和环境的改善。到目前为止,中国上市公司还没有受到研究人员对灭绝会计的关注。本文试图分析高生态影响行业的中国上市公司的广泛样本,以评估其生物多样性披露在多大程度上受印象管理的支配,从而确定报告中任何可以被解释为解放灭绝会计的元素。鉴于这一领域的研究很少,我们回应了文献中关于研究发展中经济体公司灭绝会计的呼吁。我们的研究结果表明,尽管公司在披露中强烈倾向于揭示印象管理和自身利益,但也有解放灭绝会计的例子,它们似乎正在引发其保护行为和活动的真正转变。此外,我们将特定物种、以物种为中心的报告确定为灭绝核算的一个重要组成部分,证明了解放灭绝核算在实践中的发展和演变方式。这代表着对现有文献的重大贡献,因为之前对采矿业的研究发现,只有以人类为中心的“合法性”主导了灭绝核算。令人鼓舞的是,在发展中经济体的高影响力部门的报告实践中,解放灭绝会计的元素开始出现。

Accounting for Biodiversity and Extinction: The Case of South African National Parks 生物多样性与灭绝的核算:以南非国家公园为例

ABSTRACT This paper responds to calls for more normative research on biodiversity accounting and reporting. It develops a model for reporting on biodiversity informed by earlier work on biodiversity reporting, ecological reporting and extinction accounting as well as the guidance on integrated and sustainability reporting developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) respectively. The resulting ‘integrated biodiversity reporting mode’ is designed to provide a more nuanced tool for reporting on biodiversity. While the model is intended to be used by multiple organisations, its application is illustrated using the South African National Parks (SANParks). A detailed content analysis of the SANParks’ annual reports over seven years (2013–2019) is used to identify different types of disclosures, categorised according to the type of environmental information being reported and the associated capitals outlined by the IIRC. Applying the model to SANParks reveals how it is possible to provide a more detailed report on biodiversity than would be the case if only existing reporting frameworks are used. The proposed reporting model is not without challenges, but it can be applied to report more effectively on biodiversity-related risks and the interconnections between biodiversity and the different resources/capitals which are required to manage it. As a result, this paper contributes to the debate on how to report on biodiversity and demonstrates how the largely theoretical work on biodiversity reporting can be applied in practice.
摘要本文回应了对生物多样性会计和报告进行更规范研究的呼吁。它根据生物多样性报告、生态报告和灭绝核算的早期工作以及国际综合报告理事会和全球报告倡议分别制定的综合和可持续性报告指南,制定了一个生物多样性的报告模式。由此产生的“综合生物多样性报告模式”旨在为生物多样性的报告提供更细致的工具。虽然该模型旨在供多个组织使用,但其应用已使用南非国家公园(SANParks)进行了说明。SANParks七年(2013-2019)年度报告的详细内容分析用于确定不同类型的披露,根据报告的环境信息类型和IIRC概述的相关资本进行分类。将该模型应用于SANParks揭示了如何能够提供比仅使用现有报告框架更详细的生物多样性报告。拟议的报告模式并非没有挑战,但它可以用于更有效地报告与生物多样性相关的风险,以及生物多样性与管理生物多样性所需的不同资源/资本之间的相互联系,本文为关于如何报告生物多样性的争论做出了贡献,并展示了生物多样性报告的主要理论工作如何在实践中应用。

Angry Birds – The Use of International Union for the Conservation of Nature Categories as Biodiversity Disclosures in Extinction Accounting 愤怒的小鸟-使用国际自然保护联盟分类作为灭绝会计中的生物多样性披露
Q2 Business, Management and Accounting Pub Date : 2021-02-15 DOI: 10.1080/0969160X.2021.1881577

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to provide an account of whether extinction accounting and the use of IUCN categories offers a valuable and feasible addition to biodiversity disclosures for an organisation that has a professional interest in conservation programmes. Specifically, when and where IUCN categories can be used as biodiversity disclosures to address the threat of extinction. This study is based on a single anomalous case a Nordic zoo, located in Sweden, which has focused its operations exclusively on the conservation of threatened species and is the only zoo in Europe to do so. In order to comprehend the use of IUCN categories the annual report and the corporate website of Nordic Zoo have been examined. An open-ended interview with zoo management has been conducted to learn the intentions behind such specific disclosures and the use of IUCN categories. The findings of this study reveal that IUCN categories are appropriate biodiversity disclosures for highlighting extinction threats to various species. In an organisation with a professional interest in practicing conservation programmes, IUCN categories play a central role in communicating with stakeholders. This study demonstrates that biodiversity disclosures are part of a sincere effort to report on conservation.
摘要本研究的目的是说明,对于一个对保护计划有专业兴趣的组织来说,灭绝核算和国际自然保护联盟类别的使用是否为生物多样性披露提供了一个有价值和可行的补充。具体而言,何时何地可以将国际自然保护联盟类别用作生物多样性披露,以应对灭绝威胁。这项研究基于一个异常案例,一家位于瑞典的北欧动物园专注于濒危物种的保护,是欧洲唯一一家这样做的动物园。为了了解世界自然保护联盟类别的使用情况,我们查看了北欧动物园的年度报告和公司网站。对动物园管理层进行了一次开放式采访,以了解此类具体披露背后的意图以及国际自然保护联盟类别的使用。这项研究的结果表明,国际自然保护联盟的分类是适当的生物多样性披露,以突出各种物种的灭绝威胁。在一个对实施保护计划有专业兴趣的组织中,国际自然保护联盟类别在与利益相关者沟通方面发挥着核心作用。这项研究表明,生物多样性披露是报告保护情况的真诚努力的一部分。
