Abstract:
The basic purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of company characteristics on environmental disclosure on the websites of the selected manufacturing companies listed on BSE for the financial years 2011-12 to 2015-16. The sample consists of 61 companies of different manufacturing industries. The relationship between company characteristics and the environmental disclosure on the websites has been investigated by multiple regression technique. The results of the study specify that characteristics like age of the company, size of the company and leverage are statistically significant and are positively associated with the environmental disclosure on the websites by the manufacturing companies. On the contrary, ISO 14001 certification, profitability and industry type are statistically insignificant and do not influence the web environmental disclosure by the companies.
