ABSTRACT
The present study's goal was to identify measures and solutions in light of environmental information in corporate sustainability reporting practices in India. For this purpose, corporate sustainability report of 15 Indian Companies for the periods 2016-17 to 2019-2020 were checked and examined. 15 sample companies were selected following “Core &speaker; and Comprehensive Status” from the all-encompassing table of GRI as a pilot study. Based on disclosure check list of 32 environmental aspect parameter of GRI Standards 2016 and unweighted announcement index, the present study measures the consideration of GRI Standards revelation two together at the aggregate level and in respect of environment category of GRI standard. The result shows that in consideration of overall environment GRI Standard disclosures varies from 15.63% to 93.75%. The minimum revelation score of 15.63% is immeasurable. But the maximum announcement score is 93.75%. A mean disclosure score of 67.92% displays a comparatively moderate level of announcement. The study discloses a roomy alternative in consideration of environmental disclosure with range and standard deviation 78.13% and 22.66% respectively. On studies of research findings, the researcher concludes that there exists scope for improvement of environmental aspect reporting by Indian companies.
