The Place of Sustainable Development in the Financial Reporting of Large Romanian Companies

How can we reconcile economic and social progress without endangering the natural balance of the planet? How can we spread the wealth between developed and less developed ones? How to ensure a decent living for millions of people in danger, where the planet already seems stifled by excessive exploitation of natural resources? To answer these questions was born the concept of sustainable development (www.mmediu.ro). More efficient use of resources in order to reduce the economic costs and environmental impact provides benefits to society, environment and economy. In what follows, based on this concept appealing both basic research and applied research, which consisted in testing several hypotheses based on a questionnaire. We intend to establish to what extent it is assimilated by the Romanian economic entities to determine the importance given and to highlight practical ways in which companies meet the objective of sustainable development.
