Grounded legitimacy theory, it explores how characteristics—such size, complexity, public status, online visibility—affect levels disclosed via official websites. The econometric analysis, based sample 197 ports, reveals relatively low information disclosed, aspects dominating over social ones. findings further indicate size complexity positively influence levels, whereas status negative impact.

Abstract Policymakers, academics, and practitioners are increasingly discussing non-financial reporting (NFR) initiatives, i.e., initiatives that related to environmental social matters. The implementation of NFR in the context small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a key topic. Based on systematic literature review, this article first synthesizes what we know about mechanisms underlying implemented by SMEs. A thematic analysis led identification examination drivers, enabling factors, challenges for initiatives. Relevant drivers include legitimacy-based motivations, competitive advantage, stakeholder engagement. Enabling factors specific guidelines tools NFR. Lack capabilities lack standardization significant challenges. Second, drawing do not SMEs, novel conceptualization as process characterized three main phases presented. Last, suggests future research opportunities.
