Abstract: Within such concepts as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical principles, there is an attempt to be made to ensure that protection of the natural environment is taken seriously. Information on how corporations deal with this issue has been required to achieve CSR standards and ethical acceptance. Previously, such information may have been required either voluntarily or through legal regulation. The new 1998 Aarhus Convention and EU intervention will have an impact in this regard. This paper seeks to address the extent of these developments and suggests that they should be adopted willingly by management as a part of greater corporate transparency to meet basic requirements to comply with CSR.
