Abstract

The actual economic environment, which is in a continuous dynamic, obligates the economic entities to rethink their periodic performance reporting method. In this context, drafting a report of interest for the stakeholders, which would contain financial as well as non-financial information, becomes a challenge. Integrating the exigencies of the sustainable development of economic, social and environment nature in a sustainable report of performance represents in the long run an indispensable requirement for any stock exchange listed company. This paper aims to analyse three characteristics of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) listed companies: dimension (ED), rentability (ARR) and company recognition (EER). The control variable (EO) is given by the objectives the company follows. The data in this paper has been collected from annual reports drafted by BSE listed companies on the Regulated Market referring to 2019. The results obtained through econometric research have revealed the fact that the objectives (EO), the dimension (ED) and the company’s rentability (ARR) have a significant impact on the sustainable reporting of their performance.
