Abstract

Este estudo examina o efeito do sistema cultural na divulgação da responsabilidade social corporativa por empresas do setor de energia. A pesquisa analisou uma amostra de 62 empresas líderes de energia de 25 países. A variável dependente é o nível de evidenciação ambiental das empresas. As variáveis ​​independentes são compostas pelo sistema cultural dos países analisados, de acordo com as dimensões culturais de Hofstede. Os dados foram analisados ​​por meio de estatística descritiva, inferencial, correlação e regressão de dados em painel. Verificou-se que empresas baseadas em culturas com maior nível de indulgência e com maior orientação para o longo prazo tendem a ter maior evidenciação ambiental. Os resultados mostram que o nível de divulgação da responsabilidade social corporativa é diferente dependendo do sistema cultural do país. Existem pressões institucionais, que incentivam as empresas a publicar um relatório de sustentabilidade mais completo. Os resultados deste estudo têm implicações acadêmicas e gerenciais.
