Abstract This chapter reviews the evaluation of de?nitions of ?nancial, corporate
social responsibility, and integrated reporting (IR) used over time to reveal points of
understanding what quality of these reporting means. Management literature uses
many terms to refer social and environmental reporting (e.g., corporate social
