RESUMEN

Mediante la contabilidad de costes ecológicos completos, las empresas serán capaces de informar sobre la contribución que sus actividades realizan al logro del desarrollo sostenible mediante la comunicación en términos monetarios de sus externalidades. Dado que los estudios previos se han centrado en el análisis de casos concretos, en la presente investigación se realiza un examen de corte transversal de las percepciones de los gestores de las empresas del sector energético español sobre esta nueva herramienta. Las opiniones ofrecidas por los gestores varían dependiendo del posicionamiento estratégico adoptado por las empresas, siendo aquéllas con estrategias más activas las que muestran mayor disponibilidad en cuanto a la experimentación y posible implantación de un sistema de costes completos.

ABSTRACT

By means of full cost accounting, firms will be able to inform about the contribution of their activities to the achievement of sustainable development through the communication of their externalities expressed in monetary terms. Given that previous studies have focused on specific cases, in the present research a cross-section analysis of Spanish firms belonging to the energy industry has been carried out to inquire the managers' perceptions about this new tool. Resultant opinions are different depending on the strategic positioning adopted by the firms. Those with a more active strategy exhibit more availability with regard to the possibility of implementation and experimentation with full cost accounting.
