Summary
This study introduces the first firm-level corporate sustainability disclosure dataset, using machine learning on management reports. This resource tracks corporate sustainability attitudes and progress, aiding sustainable development.
Area of Science:
- Business and Management
- Data Science
- Environmental Science
Background:
- Enterprises are crucial for sustainable development and emissions reduction.
- Corporate sustainability disclosure is vital for stakeholder insights but lacks firm-level measurement.
- Existing research has not comprehensively measured corporate sustainability disclosure at the individual firm level.
Purpose of the Study:
- To construct the first firm-level dataset for corporate sustainability disclosure.
- To develop a quantitative measure of corporate sustainability disclosure, including economic, environmental, and social dimensions.
- To provide a resource for analyzing corporate sustainability attitudes and outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Application of machine learning techniques to analyze Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) documents from listed companies.
- Construction of a novel dataset encompassing the Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Index (CSDI) and its sub-dimensions (CSDI_ECO, CSDI_ENV, CSDI_SOCI).
- Establishment of an annually updated dataset for longitudinal analysis.
Main Results:
- Creation of a unique firm-level dataset for corporate sustainability disclosure.
- Development of the Corporate Sustainability Disclosure Index (CSDI) and its dimensional components.
- The dataset serves as a proxy for corporate management's sustainability attitudes.
Conclusions:
- The developed dataset is the first of its kind at the firm level, filling a critical research gap.
- This resource facilitates the study of corporate sustainability strategies and their impact on economic and social outcomes.
- The dataset promotes enhanced corporate sustainability practices and reporting.

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...
