Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the level of conformity of economic, social, and environmental information on sustainability report in Indonesia as per GRI G4 guidelines. Content analysis has been applied to a sample of 29 companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Conformity and disclosure quality were analyzed descriptively using a specific scoring system for each dimensions. The findings of this research show that the level of conformity of GRI indicators in Indonesia is quite low at 18,9%. However, the weight of information disclosed by companies is relatively high, at 59,9% of the information. This wide gap occurred caused by the fact that many companies disclose only a few indicators of GRI G4. These findings indicate the GRI G4 Guidelines is not really suitable for company in Indonesia. One of the primary focuses of this research is the applicability of GRI indicators. However, not even a single study found while reviewing literature that studied the applicability GRI indicators in a country. Conformity can become a new topic when studying accounting information disclosure.

Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the status quo of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)-based sustainable public value (SPV) reporting by electric utilities. Furthermore, the study attempts to find out whether a stock exchange listing and/or a public ownership are positively associated with electric utilities’ reporting regarding their contributions to a sustainable development (SD) or not.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical analysis of sustainability reports published by electric utilities from 28 different countries all over the world is carried out. The investigation is based on a documentary analysis of 83 GRI G4 reports.FindingsThe findings show that electric utilities’ coverage of GRI indicators of the electric utilities sector disclosures varies between, as well as within, the different categories of the GRI guidelines and that the coverage of sector-specific indicators is often lacking behind the general coverage rates. Furthermore, the study reveals that a stock exchange listing is positively associated with electric utilities’ GRI-based SPV reporting. In contrast, public ownership does not show a significant association.Originality/valueElectric utilities have a significant influence on SD. They operate in a regulated environment that is targeted at utilizing electric utilities for economic and environmental public policy objectives. Against that background, the study discusses which issues of SPV creation are reported by electric utilities that use the GRI guidelines and therefore brings together the public value (PV) and the sustainability community.

Abstract:
The lack of coherence, transparency and accountability in traditional financial reporting, led the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) to developed Integrated Reporting (IR) in 2010. This study draws the attention towards the top 50 public listed companies listed in Malaysian Stock Exchange as per asset size, and their fulfilment towards voluntary IR disclosures. This study is also conducted to examine the organisational characteristics that foster the IR initiative. Most of the Malaysian PLCs are complied with ISO 26000 standards and GRI G4 guidelines. The compliance of these both standards and guidelines are contributing to the adoption of IR as there are all inter-related. A comparison has been made among ISO 26000, GRI G4 and IR framework to develop a common ground for the non-financial reporting frameworks and guidelines. This study is qualitative and descriptive in nature. The findings reveal that although there were traces of the fulfilment of all requirements with regard to ISO 26000, which was 32% and GRI and IR was 12% respectively, there were much to be done to encourage PLCs to incorporate such reporting guidelines. It was also found that, government-linked companies have greater fulfilment of these requirements.

Abstract:
Purpose – Forest industries affect cultural sustainability profoundly, but little information exists on integration of cultural sustainability aspects into their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) management. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines comprising assessments of economic, ecological and social aspects are one of the most comprehensive CSR frameworks applied widely also in forest industries. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate, how the GRI guidelines encompass cultural sustainability when assessing forestry and forest industry operations in a global context and to recognize the cultural sustainability themes that need additional information in forest industry companies’ CSR reporting. Design/methodology/approach – In the qualitative analysis, expert interview material on indicators identified for assessing the cultural sustainability of forest bioenergy production in North Karelia was compared with the contents of the GRI guidelines. The focus on classifying the cultural indicators according to GRI contents was to recognize in the context of forest bioenergy production, the links between cultural sustainability and other sustainability dimensions and to illustrate the new themes that cultural sustainability integration would bring to CSR management of the business. In addition, information was acquired from the general themes of cultural sustainability which are currently lacking from the GRI guidelines. Findings – The results of the show that most of the cultural indicators in the expert interview material were associated with aspects of economic, environmental or social sustainability when classified according to the GRI guidelines. Despite this, it seems that a more profound integration of cultural sustainability evaluations in CSR management is required. The analysis of this study showed that the themes “Impacts on landscape,” “Timeline of impacts,” “Spiritual values,” “Persistence of traditions” and “Adaptability to cultural change” are not approached in the GRI guidelines at all. All of the identified themes approach issues, which have been found to be crucial in forest industries’ operations not only in a local, but also in a global context. Research limitations/implications – The analysis of this study was limited to cultural characteristics of forestry and forest industries especially in the case of forest bioenergy production in North Karelia, Eastern Finland. Due to this, the results cannot be generalized directly into other CSR management contexts of forest industries in different geographical areas. Despite this, the results of this study indicate that when aiming to enhance the acceptability of forest industries in energy production as well as in other branches of forest industries, new insights are needed on the integration of cultural aspects in CSR management. Originality/value – The pressures toward using local forest resources are increasing internationally. As a result of this, the managers and politicians responsible for making decisions on forest sector are less seldom familiar with local traditions and the ways of balancing different needs related to forests in various geographical contexts. In enhancing the environmental, social and economic sustainability of forest resource usage it is crucial to ensure that the decisions made do not conflict with cultural values of localities traditionally dependent on forests. Despite this, general information on cultural sustainability issues related to forests and especially CSR management in forest sector is scarce.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to provide new insights on the determinants of social and economic sustainability reportings of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in three Anglo-Saxon countries, mainly Australia, the UK and South Africa, from the perspective of corporate governance, stakeholder and corporate legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach This paper examines stand-alone sustainability reports of 67 large MNEs from three countries available in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) website for the period of 2008-2009. It undertakes two distinct methodological approaches: first, principal component analysis (PCA) of GRI guidelines (G3) on social and economic indicators to identify the most appropriate dependent variables, and second, hierarchical multiple regression for the hypotheses testing and finding determinants of respective dependent variables on social and economic reportings. Findings The results from the PCA of GRI guidelines (G3) provide an alternative way of categorizing the social and economic indicators when compared to the categories given by the GRI. Again, the results from hierarchical multiple regression indicate the industry sector as the dominant determinant of social and economic reportings. In particular, the positive, significant association of board independence, assurance and employee performance variables with economic reporting confirms the significant roles of corporate governance, stakeholders and corporate legitimacy in determining economic reporting. The findings also suggest the complementary nature of relevant theories in corporate voluntary disclosures relating to economic performance. However, social reporting shows no such relations, which rather relies more on firm-specific/financial variables of MNEs including firm size and age. Research limitations/implications The sample of this study is limited to two-year periods and large MNEs available in the GRI website with stand-alone sustainability reports only. Practical implications The PCA focuses on most relevant and specific categories of social and economic reportings as opposed to GRI generic categories. The PCA findings also suggest the GRI to contemplate reducing the social and economic indicators for future guidelines. The hierarchical multiple regression results highlight specific areas of emphasis that MNEs should focus on when reporting social and economic information. Originality/value This study adds value to the existing literature on GRI-based social and economic reportings as well as the complementary nature of corporate governance, stakeholders and corporate legitimacy perspectives.

Abstract:
To improve quality of sustainability reporting, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines have been issued and widely applied. Board of directors’ characteristics can be seen as essential factors to facilitate the implementation of these practices. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between board of directors and GRI adherence in sustainability disclosures. The research uses Tobit regression for 388 observations from 97 German listed firms in the period from 2013 to 2016. The findings indicate significant negative relation between board size and GRI adherent level of sustainability reporting. Further analysis is implemented for environmentally friendly and sensitive industries. The results maintain the same for board size, and reveal positive impact of board committees on GRI adherence of sustainability reporting in sensitive industry.

Abstract:
Purpose Corporate sustainability in China has become a subject of increasing international concern. Corporate sustainability disclosure (CSD) is considered a useful tool to facilitate the empowerment and acknowledgement of stakeholders in the quest for sustainability. However, the degree of cultural and political influences for being sustainably orientated can be significantly different between countries. This study aims to examine the perception of financial analysts, as CSD report users, in China about the level of importance of various indicators of corporate sustainability described in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Design/methodology/approach A set of questionnaires was developed based on GRI G4 guidelines to measure the perception of financial analysts in China on the level of importance of each sustainability indicator described in the GRI G4. A five-point Likert scale was used to measure the report users’ perceptions of each of the indicators. Findings The findings of this study increase our understanding of how Chinese CSD report users perceive corporate sustainability differently from the GRI guidelines. The main results show that the environmental aspect of sustainability was seen to be important in China, followed by the social and economic aspects. Indicator-wise, “water”, “effluents and waste”, “emissions”, “compliance” and “energy” were perceived as vital in the environmental category, while “customer health and safety”, “customer privacy” and “compliance” were considered significant in the social category. Originality/value This study addresses the need for differing corporate sustainability guidelines for different nations and cultures, specifically within the Chinese context. It also contributes to the corporate sustainability literature by adding to our understanding of how financial analysts in China, as CSD report users, perceive aspects of sustainability.

Abstract:
Purpose Widespread adoption of reporting frameworks has contributed to current global practices undertaken by firms to report social, environmental and economic impact. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the most widely used of those frameworks, has produced several generations of guidelines. Their third-generation guidelines (G3), which had the most widespread and long-term use, relied on a series of application levels to convey the quantity and quality of disclosures. The firm’s choice of application level exemplified its corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure strategy. The purpose of this study is to answer the call of scholars for a comprehensive explanation of a firm’s CSR disclosure strategy and suggested researching of the conceptual underpinnings of legitimacy, stakeholder, resource dependence and institutional theories. Design/methodology/approach Given this call, a comprehensive model is tested that explores relationships arising from these four major theories and the choice of GRI application levels. The model includes four constructs: non-financial corporate characteristics, firm financial performance, stakeholder involvement and environmental turbulence. Findings Unexpectedly, the findings do not show differences with respect to the theoretical underpinnings of CSR disclosure and the GRI disclosure levels. Originality/value Despite their widespread use, GRI was concerned that the G3’s application levels could be misunderstood and that the framework needed conceptual improvement. These concerns led to the elimination of application levels with the launch of GRI’s fourth-generation guidelines (G4) in 2013. The findings support the need for conceptual improvement and the discontinuation of the application level system in the G4 guidelines. They also suggest the need for additional research to examine disclosure choices over time, to make understand corporate disclosure strategies.

Abstract:
Sustainability and sustainable development is an important topic for today’s society. To manage organizational sustainability, companies use sustainability reporting to measure their performance. A new EU directive [2014/95/EU] requires all companies who have 500 or more employees, to report on non-financial information. Hence, sustainability reporting becomes more institutional. A number of different frameworks exist to help companies to report on sustainability. The most prominent framework is provided by the Global Reporting Initiative [GRI], which helps companies to disclose information on economic, social, and environmental dimensions. As the forestry industry in Sweden and Finland has been considered important for future sustainable development, this industry has been the focus in the thesis. Previous research has focused on why companies report on sustainability. The purpose of this thesis was instead to research how companies report, by investigating the development process of sustainability reports in Swedish and Finnish forestry companies. Moreover, the purpose was to create an understanding of the sustainability report development in accordance with GRI guidelines, within Swedish and Finnish forestry companies. The research question is: How do Swedish and Finnish forestry companies develop sustainability reports in accordance with the GRI guidelines? To answer the stipulated research question, the thesis adopted a qualitative method with an abductive approach. Moreover, the thesis had an descripto-exploratory research design to find relevant knowledge and findings. The thesis theoretical framework introduced concepts related to our research question: sustainability reporting, the organization GRI and their guidelines, a reporting process that was retrieved from GRI’s handbook, and the forestry industry in Sweden and Finland. In addition to this, system-oriented theories such as legitimacy theory, stakeholder theory, and institutional theory were presented. Through seven semi-structured interviews, with various managers from Swedish and Finnish forestry companies, information about the companies’ sustainability report development was collected. The thesis identified several essential segments in the report development process. These included: reasons for using GRI, planning, stakeholder engagement, materiality, data collection, and reporting. We concluded that the phases of the process presented in the theoretical framework, instead were included in a continuous process where the phases turned to segments that were integrated with each other in the companies reporting practices.

Abstract:
This study aims to establish an understanding of corporate sustainability and how companies communicate their sustainability. It also evaluates how sustainability reporting is addressed by various corporate companies by using GRI reporting guidelines and ISO standards, and also how these standards and guidelines are helping the companies to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. A literature review was conducted to understand the various approaches to developing a sustainability report. A theoretical relationship matrix was carried out to establish the relationship of ISO standard (clauses are the section in ISO standard which defines the action or requirements to be carried out, ISO in this research is used to represent the various important areas in a company) with the GRI guidelines (disclosure, are the section used to report contextual information about an organization and its sustainability reporting practices), and a list of the number of SDGs which each GRI disclosure and ISO standard achieves was developed. Four industrial sectors were selected and one company in each sector was used as a case study. The SDG impact assessment web-based tool was used to represent the information provided by the companies in their sustainability report/annual report. From the case studies, it was understood that, out of 4 companies, two companies employed GRI reporting guidelines i.e 2 companies used twin approaches for reporting their sustainability and 2 companies used inside-out reporting approaches. Whereas all the companies had ISO 14001:2015 certification, 3 out of 4 companies had ISO 9001:2015 certification and 2 out of 4 had companies ISO 45001:2018 certified. With this, we can understand a broad picture of corporate sustainability, and in-depth sustainability analysis of one industrial sector from the companies point of view has to be carried out in future.

This paper critically evaluates Transnational Corporations' (TNCs) claimed adherence to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)'s "labour" and "human rights" reporting guidelines and examines how successful the GRI has been in enhancing comparability and transparency. We found limited evidence of TNCs discharging their accountability to their workforce and, rather, we found evidence to suggest that disclosure was motivated more by enhancing their legitimacy. TNCs failed to adhere to the guidelines, which meant that material information items were often missing, rendering comparability of information meaningless. Instead, TNCs reported large volumes of generic/anecdotal information without acknowledging the impediments they faced in practice.

Abstract:

Background: Companies today are under increasing pressure from their stakeholders to become more and more transparent regarding the way they deal with the impact on the environment and the communities where they operate in. This type of information is mainly provided by means of sustainability reports. Several guidelines have been developed to aid report makers on the way. Currently however these sustainability reports still differ widely in the quantity of information provided which makes them difficult to compare and it is therefore important to understand the factors that can influence the amount of information being published.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors having an impact on the amount of sustainability information published by Swedish companies using the guidelines developed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

Method: Telephone interviews were conducted with eleven of the twenty-three Swedish companies listed in the GRI register in order to get their point of view regarding these factors.

Results: The study identified that the willingness to communicate with more than one stakeholder group is the most important factor that can influence the amount of information disclosed in sustainability reports. The authors also argue that a proactive attitude towards identifying legitimation strategies instead of an adaptive approach can also influence the degree of disclosure. Finally, a positive attitude towards the GRI guidelines may also contribute to producing a more detailed report.

Abstract:
Sustainability reports ought to be key channels for communication with stakeholders, enhancing organisational accountability and transparency. However, the proliferation of sustainability metrics and the voluntary nature of reporting leads to inconsistencies in the quality of sustainability reporting, invariably affecting its functionality and effectiveness. This research project investigates the quality and functionality of sustainability reporting within the South African gold mining sector. Firstly, a framework for characterising and subsequently assessing the quality of sustainability reports was developed based on a review and analysis of the published literature. This framework was then applied in a multi-method approach consisting of a desktop review involving a content analysis of three company reports that disclose performance according to the GRI G4 Guidelines, and semi-structured interviews with key internal and external stakeholders. The analysis shows that while sustainability reports in the South African mining sector have been found to have beneficial functions for both internal and external stakeholders, they also presented quality issues that are both technical and socio-political in nature. More specifically, the study found that sustainability reports are used internally at an executive level and that the reporting process enhances organisational transparency and accountability. Externally, sustainability reports were found to be used as a source of performance information and as an indicator of company commitment and legitimacy. However, the quality issues, namely levels of aggregation and detail, as well as the degree of integrity, were considered to have a negative effect on the functionality and effectiveness of sustainability reports for stakeholders. This study offers insight into how companies report and how stakeholders perceive and relate to sustainability reporting, and in turn serves to highlight both strengths that should be encouraged, and weaknesses that detract from sustainability reports’ effectiveness and functionality. The application of a multi-criteria framework in a multi-method approach provides a more holistic picture of the quality and functionality of sustainability reports, allowing technical and political quality issues to be discussed in a simultaneous study, as well as highlighting the complexities and nuances of sustainability reporting.

Abstract:
The electric power system has experienced many changes in the last decade. The notable changes are deregulation of the industry, penetration of renewable energy sources, demand side management, stricter regulations on the system performance, investigation of smart-grid applications, emission regulations on generation and penetration of electric vehicles. These changes have forced the utilities to look for innovative ideas to incorporate the changes while ensuring the performance requirements. One way to measure the performance requirements is in terms of customer satisfaction. In other words the utility is expected to provide uninterrupted power supply on demand. The challenges in achieving this are limited by the increasing load / demand on the system and the aging of the components. In US on average 80% of consumer interruptions are attributed to the failures at the distribution level. Therefore, this work focuses on improving the performance of the distribution system using a preventive maintenance scheme based on the condition of the distribution level components. Impact on the system due to expected penetration of electric vehicles (EV) and the communication advancements for the smart-grid applications are also given noteworthy consideration in this work.

Abstract:
Decentralised energy systems (DES) can be seen as a promising network topology which can potentially address the 21st century energy and power challenges that the existing hierarchical, centrally controlled power grid is required to face. Comprehensive design and representation of such systems are among the many obstacles which restrict the wider spread of DES. This thesis is concerned with the feasibility and profitability of small scale grid-connected DES located in UK. A suitable design and development procedure was proposed in this study for the analytical and detailed representation of the systems considered. The design procedure followed was integrated with the control, management and sizing strategies via the monitor of the system operation and the power flow. The effect of different technical parameters on the system performance and viability was investigated and the outcome was utilised in planning and scheduling decisions. Finally, comparisons between different specific test scenarios, energy systems, overnight charging control algorithms, energy storage sizes, etc. were implemented and conclusions regarding the system financials were drawn. This study can be seen as a design and sizing guide or a process simulation interactive software which provides design recommendations, sizing guidelines and useful system insights to the end users and the management authority/aggregators.

Abstract:
The distribution grid has traditionally been a robust design where the lines are protected by the primary substation. Constant access to electricity is important for our society, and a power interruption can have large consequences. Power interruptions also reduce the revenue cap, i.e., how much the utility can charge its customers. Additionally, in the newest regulation from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate, communication and remote control equipment obtained a regulatory value, and the revenue cap increases if that kind of equipment is installed in the grid. Therefore, it has been more attractive for the utility to invest in monitoring and remote control equipment in their distribution grids. In a customer-dense area with high interruption costs, the main question is not if monitoring and remote control should be installed. The question is how to do it and where to start. This thesis aims to give guidelines for implementing monitoring and remote control equipment in an urban distribution grid. The structure of a distribution grid, the system grounding, and the basic principles of fault identification, isolation, and restoration of the system are described. A simulation model for a single cable fault is developed. Cable fault is the most common failure in an underground cable grid. Three different levels of automation are used in the model: level 0 -no communication at all; level 1 -monitoring of the station in SCADA/DMS where at least information from fault indicators is sent; level 2 -monitoring and remote control, the switches can be operated from a SCADA/DMS system. In the simulation, two different datasets are used: reference feeder and real data feeders. The results are evaluated feeder by feeder and in a small grid where several feeders were combined. In total, as long as at least 60-75 % of the secondary substations in the feeder have level 1 or level 2 equipment, the interruption cost and SAIDI decrease by at least 70 %. The result also shows that the strategy to reduce interruption costs is different from the strategy to reduce SAIDI. The network structure is an important factor, and just introducing communication and monitoring and remote control systems will not automatically become a quality boost for the utility company. To implement the technology, broad knowledge and understanding about all parts in the distribution grid is necessary. This includes knowledge about the primary and secondary equipment, the communication, and the limitation of the different parts.
Distributionsnätet har traditionellt varit en robust konstruktion där linjerna skyddas av fördelningsstationer. Konstant tillgång till elektricitet är viktigt för vårt samhälle och ett elavbrott kan ge stora konsekvenser. Avbrott minskar även intäktsramen, det vill säga hur mycket elnätsbolaget kan debitera sina kunder. Dessutom har kommunikation och fjärrkontrollsutrustning i den senaste regleringen från Energimarknadsinspektionen fått ett regulatoriskt värde vilket gör att intäktsramen kommer att öka om den typen av utrustning installeras i nätet. Allt detta har gjort det mer hållbart och lönsamt för elnätsbolag att investera i övervakning och fjärrkontrollsutrustning i distributionsnätet. I ett kundtätt område med höga avbrottskostnader är inte huvudfrågan om övervakning och fjärrkontroll ska installeras, det är mer en fråga om hur man gör det och var man ska börja. Detta examensarbete syftar till att ge riktlinjer för hur man implementerar övervaknings- och fjärrkontrollsutrustning i ett distributionsnät i stadsmiljö. Strukturen för ett distributionsnät, systemjordning och de grundläggande principerna för felidentifiering, isolering och återställning av systemet beskrivs. En modell som simulerade effekten av ett kabelfel utvecklades, kabelfel är det vanligaste felet i ett kabelnät. Tre olika nivåer av automatisering användes i modellen. Nivå 0, ingen kommunikation alls, Nivå 1, övervakning av stationen i SCADA / DMS där åtminstone information från felindikatorer skickas. Nivå 2, övervakning och fjärrkontroll, frånskiljare och brytare kan manövreras från ett SCADA / DMS-system. I simuleringen användes två olika modeller: En referens-modell och en modell med data från verkliga linjer. Resultatet utvärderades linjevis samt i ett litet nät där flera linjer kombinerades. När minst 60–75 % av nätstationerna på linjen har Nivå 1 eller Nivå 2 utrustning minskar avbrottskostnaden och SAIDI med minst 70 %. Resultaten visar också att olika strategier kan vara nödvändigt beroende om målet är att minska avbrottskostnader eller SAIDI. Nätstrukturen är en viktig faktor, och bara genom att införa kommunikation, övervakning och fjärrkontrolls utrustning i nätet blir det inte automatiskt en större tillförlitlighet av elleveransen. För att implementera tekniken med bra resultat krävs bred kunskap och förståelse om alla delar i distributionsnätet. Detta inkluderar kunskap om den primära och sekundära utrustningen, kommunikationen och de olika delarnas begränsningar.

Abstract:
AbstractCorporate responsibility provides the foundation for sustainable development. It is a complex sphere since there are several confusing initiatives intended to help companies incorporate sustainability. From an international perspective, the UN initiatives have had the most impact. I provide a short introduction to the history of key UN initiatives associated with environmental and social issues and how they relate to business and corporations. As the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have a key global framework for sustainable development, they will be discussed in detail with special attention to challenges and practical relevance for corporations. Well-known and widely applied initiatives to evaluate corporate performance like Fair Trade Certificate and ISO 14001; greenhouse and climate reporting initiatives, like the GHG Protocol, CDP, TCFD; sustainable reporting frameworks, like GRI and IIRC; and supply chain guidance and due diligence like the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and new laws on transparency, will be presented.

Abstract:
The goal of every company should not be profit exclusively but also public welfare and social responsibility. Traditional financial reporting of companies was not sufficient to monitor the sustainable development of companies and their impact on the wider community. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was introduced to provide global guidelines to report social and environmental information. The emphasis is on reporting and measuring the level of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Reporting on CSR is necessary because companies need to be responsible for the implementation of its principles, aimed at protecting the interests of stakeholders. Mandatory GRI reporting increases social responsibility due to reduced business risk and enhanced business performance.

Abstract:
The almost absence of sustainability reports in Portugal prepared using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines in public sector (PS) entities led to the study of the strategic responses to institutional pressures, as suggested by Oliver (1991), in the few entities that publish such reports. The objective of this chapter is to determine the institutional factors that motivated sustainability disclosure in GRI reports. An interpretative approach through open questionnaire was used to analyze the strategic responses to the institutional pressures and expectations provided by PS entities. The results show that not all the institutional factors that lead Portuguese PS entities to disclose their social responsibility are in the acquiescence line, accommodating other strategic responses. Thus, this acquiescence is verified when the consistency with organizational goals is high and when the constraints and the multiplicity of stakeholders are low.

Full text
Abstract:
A spacer grid is one of the most important structural components in a PWR fuel assembly. The spacer grid, which supports nuclear fuel rods laterally and vertically with a friction grip, is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps welded at the intersections to form an egg-crate structure. Dimples and springs are stamped into each grid strap to support the fuel rods. Zircaloy is prevailing as the material of the spacer grid because of its low neutron absorption characteristic and its extensive successful in-reactor use. The primary considerations are to provide a Zircaloy spacer grid with crush strength sufficient to resist design basis loads, without significantly increasing pressure drop across the reactor core. Generally, a Zircaloy grid strap’s thickness and average height have been the main design variables in order to meet the above considerations. Recently, it was reported that a dimple location is also a design variable that affects the crush strength of a spacer grid. In this paper, based on this fact, the effect of a dimple location in a 3×3 sub-size support grid on the impact strength has been investigated as a preliminary parameter study for a 16×16 full size support grid. A 3×3 model is chosen to facilitate in a fast computation for an optimization. The optimal location of the dimple has been found and some design guidelines for a support grid have been deduced in this work.

Abstract:
These guidelines compactly describe how an interdisciplinary institutional analysis is to be implemented in practice: Which steps of analysis and control have to be taken? Which research questions are important and which role do empirical results play in the analysis?The description will be based on the requirements that the legislator has to fulfil with regard to the estimation of effects (as it is regulated in § 44 of the Joint Rules of Procedure of the Federal Ministries (Gemeinsame Ges-chäftsordnung der Bundesministerien, GGO) and in the guidelines of the Eu-ropean Commission). The steps of analysis and examination outlined in this paper can be equally used in relation to institutional design problems in companies (like the ad-justment of determining factors regarding ‘Governance, Risk Management, Compliance’ – GRC), associations or authorities. At the end of the compact guidelines, key terms of institutional analysis will be explained in a glossary. The glossary further contains recommendations on secondary literature.
