ENVIRONMENTAL ACCUNTING AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Abstract
Sustainable development is an economic growth strategy aimed to conciliate economic and social progress without endangering the natural equilibrium of the planet. The true stake of the future is the avoidance of environment degradation through developing of a responsibility sense both of citizens as well as of companies, for the purpose of reaching a stable sustainable development. Environmental accounting expresses the appearance of a new ethics that answer to the human worries for planetary development and progress. Starting from the damage caused to the environment, we ask ourselves about the destructive activity conducted by companies and making them responsible of the problem to the future generations.
