Accounting area should pay attention to this matter and play a role in addressing social and environmental issues as corporate social responsibility towards stakeholders. Accountants have concerned about environmental accounting. This concept is important because companies need to express information about social activities and environmental protection to the stakeholders. The company not only delivers financial information to investors and creditors of existing and prospective investors or the company's creditors, but also need to consider the social interests in which the company operates. Thus, corporate responsibility is not only to investors or to the creditors, but also to other stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, governments, civil society, media, industry organizations, and other interest groups. The impact should be reported as an appearance of corporate responsibility to stakeholders. The low awareness of reporting environmental impacts is being caused by several problems reporting. Owing to the fact that the environmental accounting – a.k.a. sustainability reporting – is important, the company should improve its environmental report implementation. There are five ways to improve the reporting of environmental accounting: (1) assemble accounting standard setting environment, (2) force to apply the exiting reporting guidelines, (3) reward the company that had been running the corporate social responsibility and sustaining reporting, (4) run the environmental audits, and (5) develop good corporate governance mechanism to ensure implementation of environmental obligations.
