Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to shed further light on how corporate environmental disclosures are used to respond to institutional pressures stemming from the social context.

Design/methodology/approach

Interpretive textual analysis is applied to discuss how the environmental disclosures of a leading Finnish chemical company developed during the period 1972‐2005. This discussion is accompanied by an analysis of the social and institutional context in which the company has been operating. The development of the disclosures is reflected against changing social and institutional pressures identified from the perspective of new institutional sociology.

Findings

The results show that during these 34 years there have been major transitions in the rhetoric used by the case company in its environmental disclosures. These transitions coincide with changes in the social and institutional context. It is argued that the case company has adjusted its disclosures to respond to the varying institutional pressures in order to maintain a legitimate position in society.

Research limitations/implications

The subjective nature of the interpretive approach and the use of a single case limit the generalisability of the results. However, the longitudinal approach is argued to produce valuable insights on how corporate disclosures are used as a communication tool to portray the organisation in a certain light.

Originality/value

The study adds to a growing body of literature using interpretive approaches in deconstructing corporate disclosures. The influence exerted by social and institutional pressures on corporate disclosures is highlighted, further research avenues can therefore be proposed.

Abstract

Neutralisation and pH Whichever amine or ammonia can in principle be used for the neutralisation, it must be considered, however, that the neutralising agent has to be completely volatilised in the film, because otherwise it reduces water resistance and eventually makes the paint yellow.

Abstract

A commonly accepted practice for comparative evaluations of the exterior durability properties of titanium dioxide pigment grades is to prepare alkyd paints on each pigment grade, then apply the paints on test panels and send the properly dried panels to a Florida exposure centre for 12 months. During these 12 months the condition of the panels is examined monthly and gloss, chalking, cracking and other eventual changes are recorded and reported.

Abstract

Over the last fifteen years, acrylic resins have become more widely accepted for use in surface coatings. Acrylic resins may be divided into two main categories, solvent‐borne and water‐borne systems. Solvent‐borne solution polymers may be subdivided into two groups: thermoplastic and thermosetting resins. Basically a thermosetting resin is built up from monomer units selected to give the degree of hardness and flexibility required. They may be self‐crosslinking, but usually require the addition of a crosslinking agent, a reactive bifunctional monomer unit, that serves to crosslink and insolubilize the copolymer. Other monomers may be introduced to confer specific properties and many commercial thermosetting acrylic resins contain four or more different units in the chain.
