This step of DD would have allowed companies to 30% put forward the profits carried out and for others 23 percent, the benefit of image resulting from an environmental step is interesting.
The study reveals that the companies do not look any more the sustainable development as an opportunity of green communication without real effects; crushing the majority (71%) having fixed indicators of internal measurement of their performance in this field. One does not compromise with the information read by the financial analysts of the European purses. KPMG Study shows it, that this step exists in reaction to requires to take into account the environment in the development of the strategies, in particular financial, like by the emergence of these criteria of DD in the selection of grids of the shareholders. Thus the contents of this communication sustainable development within the annual reports suggested the environment (38% of the indicators), and in particular gas concerns for the purpose of greenhouse, the discharges in water and waste. The other topics targeted by KPMG indicators are HR (18%), ethics and the governorship (11%), safety and health (10%).
