In this paper, we analyse the effect that directors representing controlling shareholders have
on corporate social responsibility (CSR) matters since these investors are the core
shareholders in civil law countries, given their high presence on boards. Thus, we analyse the
effect of institutional directors on CSR disclosure, but also the impact of the classification of
these directors between pressure-sensitive and pressure-resistant institutional directors,
depending on if they maintain only an investment relationship with the firm or both an
investment and commercial link, respectively. We hypothesise a quadratic relationship
between institutional directors and CSR disclosure. We show a curvilinear relationship
between institutional directors/pressure-resistant directors and CSR reporting, suggesting that
these directors may play two opposite roles (monitoring or entrenchment with managers).
However, pressure-sensitive directors do not affect CSR disclosure. These findings indicate
that there is an association between board members and strategic decisions. Moreover, our
evidence shows that institutional directors do not act in an identical way. Finally, the
enhancement of corporate governance depends on the proportion of institutional and pressureresistant
directors on boards. [-]
