Figure 2.
The line graph compares the frequency of C S R logic and Conservative logic expressions from 2010 to 2022. The x-axis represents Year, while the y-axis represents Number of words per 10,000. A dashed line representing C S R logic rises substantially from approximately 112 words per 10,000 in 2010 to nearly 180 words per 10,000 in 2022. A solid line representing Conservative logic shows a slower increase from around 106 words per 10,000 in 2010 to approximately 123 words per 10,000 in 2022. The graph indicates that C S R logic consistently exceeds Conservative logic across all years. A legend beneath the graph distinguishes the two trend lines.Average word count (per 10,000 words) of CSR versus conservative logic dictionaries in annual reports, between 2010 and 2022
Note(s): The figure illustrates the average word count (per 10,000 words) of corporate social responsibility (CSR) terms compared to conservative logic-related terms found in annual reports from 2010 to 2022. The line graphs represent the relative frequency of these two types of logic in company reporting over time, allowing for a comparison of how the emphasis on CSR and conservative logic has evolved during this period
