Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) pertains to the idea that business activities can affect the\r\nenvironment, society, and economy. The environment and social performance is an important driver of\r\nlong-term sustainability and growth. The concept of CSR has become increasingly popular for\r\nsustainable development. There are calls for CSR information. However, Thai listed companies rarely\r\npublished CSR reports because of difficulty in collecting CSR information. To understand information\r\npresentation practice on CSR reports in Thailand, two listed companies, the Siam Cement public\r\ncompany limited and PTT public company limited were selected for examination. Based on information\r\ndisclosed in 2010, it was found that firms applied Global Report Initiatives (GRI) guideline while\r\ndisclosing their CSR information. Most of information presented was qualitative in nature. It includes\r\nnarrative information, indictors, graphic, and visualize data. So, it is difficult to make comparison about\r\nCSR activities across firms. The results suggest need for innovation development of information\r\nsystem and database of CSR reporting.
