Methodology/approach: Content analysis of 235 reports of listed companies (from 55 to 62 depending on the year) was used to identify the number and type of disclosed indicators of companies’ implementation of the SDGs according to the guidelines of the Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Accounting and Reporting Standards (UNCTAD-ISAR), and the panel regression method was applied to verify four research hypotheses. Findings: Although about 2/3 of the companies have declared their commitment to the SDGs, the number of companies that disclosed information on the implementation of the SDGs was lower.
