findings of the two studies in regard to the relationship between the various factors
considered and the TBL reporting score. Ho and Taylor (2007) found that size, liquidity,
profit, and country were correlated with the TBL reporting score, relationships which were
not detected in the present study. However, this study and Ho and Taylor (2007) both found a
relationship between size and profit and the environmental information disclosure score as
well as between liquidity and the economic information reporting score. The difference in the
results of the two studies may be because Ho and Taylor (2007) studied companies in
developed countries (the USA and Japan) where regulations apply to the reporting of
non-financial information (social and environmental disclosure), but non-financial
information disclosure in Thailand (a developing country) is still based on voluntary
reporting. Overall, it was difficult for this study to detect the influence of factors on the TBL
reporting score in the annual reports of Thai listed companies. To compare this findings with
Thai previous studies, the study indicates that although Connelly and Limpaphayon (2004),
and Rahman et al. (2010) found no relationship between environmental disclosures and
financial performance, the findings on this study found that there was a relationship between
TBL reporting (in terms of environmental disclosures) and financial performance (profit and
risk). This study also supports the finding of Kuasirikun et al. (2004) about an increasing
trend of environmental disclosures because there was 88 precent of companies providing
environmental information in their annual reports in 2010.
