Abstract

"Objective � The purpose of this study is to provide the argument that carbon disclosure must not only provide economic but also non-economic information. The more comprehensive disclosure of carbon emission is expected to change the behavior of industries in realizing a more environmentally friendly production process. Methodology/Technique � Data were collected through interviews and observation of documentations from three parties the BOWL company, the Ministry of Forest and Environment and the Ministry of Industry. Findings � Results show that the rating program of the industry�s performance in environmental management (PROPER) from the government�s perspective is an instrument which can encourage and establish the industry�s compliance and awareness of environmental management regulations. Novelty � This paper also focused on analysing how the government applies regulation approaches in changing the industry�s paradigm to undertake ethical businesses."
