A score of ‘0’ was assign for non-disclosure and a score of ‘1’ or ‘2’ was assign if the companies make a general statement and specific explanation. The result of this study indicated that the level of environmental reporting practice in environmentally sensitive company in Malaysia is low. Moreover, the findings show that company size and age of company is positively significant to environmental reporting.
