Much has been debated on the necessity of the better corporate disclosures on the issues affecting the\r\nstakeholders. This research provides an insight into the disclosures of plantation companies on the\r\nenvironmental preservation in relation to the earth, water and air (EWA). The study gauged the actual\r\nlevel of the corporate environmental disclosure (CERD) using National Annual Corporate Report Award\r\n(NACRA) checklist. We used the total land bank area occupied by a company to calculate the\r\nconcentration of plantation activities in order to determine the extent of CERD required from the\r\ncompanies. This approach discards the ââ?¬Å?one size fits allââ?¬Â approach to solve disclosure problem.\r\nPulpwire tool developed in this research can identify gaps in the required disclosure of the plantation\r\ncompanies and alert the companies to take necessary corrective actions.
