Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 06
Abstract
The Building and Public Works sector is experiencing remarkable growth due to the increase in infrastructure needs. Because it is one of the most waste-generating sectors. This growth will explode in the coming years, especially with a linear economy model. Thus, the transition to a circular economic model is necessary and financial communication practices must be aligned with it. Under this objective, this paper seeks to explore the financial communication practices of listed companies in terms of circular economy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The annual reports of seven (7) Moroccan construction companies listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange were analyzed and discussed in the light of theoretically approved circularity indicators. Findings: The content disseminated by the listed construction companies through their annual reports in relation to the circular economy is often limited to the description of broader actions. Some listed companies communicate numerical indicators particularly in relation to energy and water consumption, recycling and recovery of waste, substitution of natural resources by alternative materials. Practical implications: This paper is a benchmarking tool for listed and unlisted companies in the construction sector, with the aim of improving the quality of the indicators disseminated and increasing the environmental performance of companies.
