摘要：

The paper intends to uncover the determinants of sustainability disclosure (SD) of companies listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange, Sri Lanka. Data were collected from a sample of 220 companies over the period of four years, representing all the business sectors in Sri Lankan listed companies. Binomial logistic regression was employed to analyze data. Results revealed that profitability, firm size, leverage, firm growth and firm listing age are significant firm-specific determinants in motivating SD. Moreover, board size, board independence, female directorship and board ethnicity are significant board-specific factors in motivating SD. The findings of the study suggest that both firm and board-specific attributes are significant matter in motivating corporate SD in Sri Lankan listed companies.
