There have been many suggestions that reports provided to stakeholders should provide a broader set of information about a company's performance than just financial performance. The argument is that companies and organisations should not only report about the economic but also the environmental and social impacts caused by their operations (corporate sustainability reporting). Perrini and Tencati (2006)* define corporate sustainability as the capacity of a firm to continue operating over a long period of time, depends on the sustainability of its stakeholder relationships.
