Environmental sustainability represents nowadays a significant factor for business sector. Firms carry out many initiatives to develop environmental practices. Investors increasingly consider environmental discloser by firms and integrate this disclosure into the investment decision-making process. Using a database of Saudi listed firms, this study adds to the literature by examining the relationship between the environmental sustainability disclosure and stock return and whether this relationship is moderated by the financial constraints. We find that the environmental sustainability disclosure has significant and negative impact on stock return, indicating that investors do not consider environmental disclosure when valuing the stocks. Furthermore, our results propose that the negative impact of environmental disclosure on stock return is more evident in firms with financial constraints. This study provides managerial implications for regulatory authorities, firms and investors. The environmental practices can be value relevant. However, these practices need to be efficiently integrated into stock valuation.

This research aims to identify environmental performance, role of external assurance in sustainability reports, financial access, the quality of sustainability report disclosure and external assurance of a company. The samples are Indonesia non-financial public companies which are listed in the Performance Rating Assessment Program on Environment Management (Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan/PROPER) from 2014 to 2019. Using descriptive analysis, this research finds a fairly good environmental performance and an adequate performance of environmental management efforts as required from the observed sample. It also indicates that more than 78% of companies during the year of observation tend to not disclose separate sustainability reports. In addition, the lack of urgency in disclosing separate sustainability reports also reflected on the companies tendency of not using external assurance during the reporting process. This research also showed that financial access of the observed companies has various values with a fairly high value of standard deviation. Furthermore, this research suggests an analysis of the influence and correlation between variables used in this research as potential future studies.
