Abstract

(VF) Cet article examine l’impact de la composition du CA (conseil d’administration) sur la qualité des informations RSE (responsabilité sociétale des entreprises) divulguées. Notre échantillon comporte 82 sociétés françaises cotées à l’indice SBF120 entre 2008 et 2015. Après avoir contrôlé les biais d’endogénéité, nos résultats montrent un fort impact de la diversité de genre et de la représentation des administrateurs élus par les salariés sur la divulgation des informations sociales. Une relation positive et significative entre la diversité des nationalités au sein du CA et nos mesures RSE. Néanmoins, notre étude révèle l’absence de liens entre la diversité des formations et des écoles les dispensant d’une part, et la qualité de ces informations d’autre part. (VA) This paper investigates tht effect of board composition on the CSR information quality disclosure. Our sample includes 82 French listed companies on the SBF 120 Index over the period 2008 to 2015. After controlling for endogeneity bias, our results show a strong impact of board gender diversity and the employees boards representation on the disclosure of social information. A positive and significant impact of board members nationalities and CSR disclosures scores. Neverless, our research exibits no relationship between the directors qualifications and the schools providing them on the one hand, and the quality of this information on the other.
