Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the sustainability reporting of French banks to investigate the integration of the financial sector specific indicators in sustainability. We built a scenario of analysis of the reporting under Tropes 8.0. This scenario is based on the GRI-G3 guidelines and the GRI supplement for the financial sector . The annual documents (annual reports, reference documents and specific reports) from 2006 to 2010 were analyzed. The results show that the French banks present different models of reporting. Some opt for an integrated reporting and the others for a separate reporting. The sustainability reporting evolves in a different way in the three documents. It seems more developed in the reference document and the sustainability report than in the annual report. The financial sector specific indicators in sustainability are little developed. until 2009, these specific indicators are published only by the cooperative banks. They appear in the reporting of the private banks only in 2010.
