Abstract:Based on the related theories of social responsibilities, this paper conducts an empirical research on the determinants of environmental information disclosure (EID) of listed companies in Chinese mining industry and evaluates the level of EID from such three respects as stakeholders, the basic corporate characteristics and the corporate governance structure. All the data come from the companies’ CSR reports in 2010 and annual reports. The empirical research shows that the level of EID of Chinese mining industry is very low, that big companies tend to disclose more environmental information, that CSR report can significantly enhance the level of EID, and that corporate governance structure, shareholders, creditors and the external auditors do not play significant role in EID. Finally, this paper provides some policy recommendations according to research results.
