Fatores determinantes dodisclosure voluntÃrio sob o enfoque da sustentabilidade: uma anÃlise das empresas dos paÃses do BRIC / Determinants voluntary dodisclosure from the standpoint of sustainability: an analysis of companies from the BRIC countries

Paulo Henrique Vieira Gomes 05 March 2012 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A divulgaÃÃo de informaÃÃes nÃo obrigatÃrias caracteriza-se como uma questÃo de Ãtica e responsabilidade corporativa empresarial. A publicaÃÃo de relatÃrios de sustentabilidade tem como objetivo, alÃm de comunicar a mais variada gama de interessados prÃticas responsÃveis em toda a cadeia produtiva e operacional da empresa, consolidar em sua gestÃo uma postura sustentÃvel. Nesta perspectiva, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de verificar se existe relaÃÃo significativa entre as caracterÃsticas econÃmico-financeiras e a divulgaÃÃo voluntÃria de informaÃÃes sob o enfoque da sustentabilidade nas empresas de capital aberto dos paÃses de economias emergentes, Brasil, RÃssia, Ãndia e China (BRIC). As caracterÃsticas econÃmico financeiras sÃo tratadas como incentivos econÃmicos que motivam as empresas a aderirem a prÃticas de divulgaÃÃo voluntÃria de informaÃÃes. Os incentivos econÃmicos estudados foram: rentabilidade, desempenho no mercado de capitais, tamanho, endividamento, efeito da atividade no meio ambiente e paÃs. O nÃvel de disclosure voluntÃrio foi medido a partir de cinco perspectivas: nÃvel de aderÃncia ao relatÃrio GRI, disclosure econÃmico, disclosure ambiental, disclosure social e disclosure sustentÃvel. A pesquisa tem abordagem quantitativa, por se tratar de um estudo explicativo que verifica o efeito causal de hipÃteses. Foram analisadas informaÃÃes de 93 empresas de capital aberto dos paÃses membros do BRIC que publicam seus relatÃrios de sustentabilidade no modelo G3 da GRI. Para tratamento dos dados foram utilizadas as ferramentas estatÃsticas descritivas e regressÃo linear mÃltipla. A partir dos resultados obtidos, pode-se inferir que o nÃvel de disclosure voluntÃrio de informaÃÃes voltadas à questÃo da sustentabilidade pode estar associado com a prÃ-existÃncia de incentivos econÃmicos. O desempenho no mercado de capitais e o tamanho afetaram positivamente o nÃvel de disclosure. Dessa forma, pode-se inferir que empresas maiores e com alto desempenho no mercado de capitais sÃo potencialmente mais transparentes quanto ao disclosure da sustentabilidade. Jà a variÃvel PaÃs, afetou negativamente o nÃvel de disclosure, indicando que empresas sediadas em paÃses com IDH mais elevados possuem uma menor contribuiÃÃo para a divulgaÃÃo voluntÃria sob o enfoque da sustentabilidade de acordo com as diretrizes do relatÃrio GRI. As caracterÃsticas econÃmico-financeira rentabilidade, endividamento, e efeito da atividade no meio ambiente nÃo apresentaram influÃncia ao disclosure estudado. / The disclosure of volunteer information is characterized as a matter of business ethics and corporate responsibility. The publication of sustainability reports aimes, in addition to communicating the widest range of stakeholders responsible practices throughout the supply and operating chain of the company, to consolidate its management in a sustainable position. In this perspective, this study aims to verify whether there is a significant relationship between the economic and financial characteristics and voluntary disclosure of information with a focus on sustainability in publicly traded companies from emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC). The economic and financial characteristics are treated as economic incentives that motivate companies to adhere to practices of voluntary disclosure. The economic incentives analyzed were: profitability, capital market performance, size, indebtedness, effect of activity on the environment and country. The voluntary disclosure level was measured from five perspectives: the level of adherence to the GRI reporting, economic disclosure, environmental disclosure, social disclosure and sustainable disclosure. The research has a quantitative approach because it is an explanatory study to evaluate the effect of causal hypotheses. It was analyzed information from 93 publicly traded companies of BRIC members countries that publish their sustainability reports on the GRI G3 model. The data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression tools. From the obtained results, it can infer that the level of voluntary disclosure of information focused on the issue of sustainability can be associated with the pre-existence of economic incentives. The performance in the capital market and the size affected positively the level of disclosure. Thus, it can be inferred that larger firms with high performance in the capital market are potentially more transparent about the disclosure of sustainability. The factor Country affected negatively the level of disclosure, indicating that companies hosted in countries with higher HDI have a lower contribution to the voluntary disclosure under the focus of sustainability according to the guidelines of the GRI report. The economic and financial characteristics profitability, indebtedness, and the effect of activity on the environment had no influence on the studied disclosure.
