Only 129 of 4,069 global listed companies are to publish their most basic information about sustainability, according to the Corporate Knights Canadian Capital consultant. In fact, only 3% of these large corporations put on your website or send to basic data stakeholders on sustainability indicators, linked to the number of employees, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, accident rate, equal wages, waste or water.

The study-open PDF-admits that the number of companies to publish this data grows from year to year but, still, it's "incredibly low". According to the study, more than 60% of large global enterprises â€" and listed-no dilvulga data on the emission of greenhouse gases; three-quarters are not transparent in relation to its water consumption and 88% does not reveal whether you have more or less employees over the previous year.

This lack of data disclosure is so rampant that the number of companies to announce the amount of energy it uses grew 88% from 2008 to 2012 â€" still, from 2011 to 2012 growth was only 5%.

According to the Corporate Knights, the disclosure of these figures is important because there is a correlation between transparency and what companies are doing on the ground. "We know how the reports influence the behavior, so business reforms should encourage behavior that focuses on creating long-term value, in order to achieve financial stability and sustainability," explained to the Guardian Paul Druckman, Chief International Integrated Reporting Council.
