key parts of TBL reporting. Environmental Reporting is an area where our country requires a boost. A lot of work has been done by other developed countries in this area. India is believed to be still at its infancy stage so far as Environmental Reporting (an integral part of triple bottom line reporting) is concerned. The objective of this study is to investigate the quantity and quality of voluntary environmental disclosures in the annual reports or sustainability reports of the few selected index based Indian companies listed on the stock exchange. In order to evaluate the environmental reporting practices, the categorization contained in the Global Reporting Initiatives guidelines has been used to an extent. We found that all the companies selected for the study were found to be at their progress towards better environmental reporting practices year by year, which is a positive sign for the country as well as a benchmark for the other companies who still have not taken initiative in this area. The result may serve a base or the path towards better Environmental disclosures in India.Keywords

The Indian equity market has seen a lot of fluctuations in the last decade. The BSE sensex as an indicator of the market has fluctuated from 10000 points to 21000 points and falling to 8000 points and making high of 30000 points and again now struggling to sustain around 30000 points. The Indian Equity markets are seeing inflows both from institutional investors as well as the retail investors.
Even though the markets remain to be volatile but that has not deterred the investors from investing in the markets. In this context it becomes important to explore the behavioral factors that are governing investment behaviour in the Indian equity market.
Equities are considered inherently riskier than investments in bonds. What makes equity investing risky? Is it because of the inconsistent performance of business behind the stock or is it because of the behavior of the market participants, who as a result of greed and fear get excessively optimistic and pessimistic about the future resulting in bull and bear phase? What are the behavioral traits that act as impediments (obstacles) in investing inequity?

Business is a part of the society. Companies now should not only focus on its financial returns, but should also take utmost care in giving back to the society in which it operates. Every company should be socially responsible and should also broaden its horizons from its stakeholders to general public, at large. It should not only carry on social activities which benefit the public at large, but also report the same in order to create more awareness. Social performance reporting would thus motivate all the companies to expand from within and reach out to the society as a whole. However, there exists a problem of its reporting. "How to measure" and "What to report" are another two questions to be answered upon. This paper attempts to clarify what social accounting is all about- mainly focusing on the reporting practices and measurement of the few randomly selected index based Indian and Australian companies.
The objective of this study is to measure the quantity and quality aspects of voluntary social performance disclosures in the various reports of the few randomly selected index based Indian and Australian companies. The result may serve a base or the path towards better social performance disclosures.
