Conventional energy sources dominate in the Polish energy sector, which is a huge risk to meeting environmental protection requirements. Polish energy companies are facing challenges related to meeting the requirements of the European Union and the National Energy Policy. The paper attempts to answer the question whether the ongoing discussion on the future of the energy sector, dealing with such issues as development of renewable energy sources is reflected in the annual financial reports of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and covered by the WIG_ENERGY index. This study contributes to the extant literature on financial disclosures in several ways. First, the examination of compliance of segment reporting of selected companies listed on the Polish stock exchange with International Reporting Standards (IFRS) was carried out (particularly IFRS 8 – Operating Segments). Second, the information value of disclosures for investors in the energy industry was assessed. The empirical part was preceded by a description of segment reporting principles in accordance with IFRS 8 and the summary of challenges facing the energy sector in Poland.

Nowadays, a characteristic phenomenon is the deepening of mutual integration between enterprises and their economic, social and environmental environment. It caused a change in thinking about the way enterprises communicate with external entities. The need has arisen for a new approach to the shape and range of the company’s reporting system. The answer covering this challenge is to extend the material scope of the company’s statements to non-financial information and the concept of mutual recognition of financial and non-financial information in one integrated report. These new trends in the system of reporting achievements by enterprises have been reflected in obligatory provisions and optional standards, both domestic and international. The purpose of this study is to discuss and evaluate those regulations. To attain that objective, the most critical challenges faced by the enterprise reporting system have been presented first. The findings confirmed that reporting of non-financial problems introduces to the reporting system a different perspective on the perception of the enterprise, which may be a source of additional benefits for both the enterprise itself and the addressees of the reports. Another conclusion that has been made in the course of deliberations is the statement that a useful concept of disclosing non-financial information is to integrate them with financial information in one coherent report. Furthermore, it has been shown that the principles of preparing the combined report and its thematic content meet the requirements set by the new EU and Polish legal regulations for the business reporting system.

Współcześnie charakterystycznym zjawiskiem jest pogłębianie się wzajemnej integracji pomiędzy przedsiębiorstwami a ich otoczeniem ekonomicznym, społecznym i środowiskowym. To wywołało zmianę w myśleniu o sposobie komunikowania się przedsiębiorstw z podmiotami zewnętrznymi; pojawiła się potrzeba nowego podejścia do kształtu i zakresu systemu raportowania osiągnięć przez przedsiębiorstwa. Odpowiedzią na to wyzwanie jest rozszerzenie zakresu przedmiotowego sprawozdawczości przedsiębiorstw o informacje o charakterze niefinansowym oraz koncepcja łącznego ujmowania informacji finansowych i niefinansowych w jednym sprawozdaniu zintegrowanym. Te nowe trendy w systemie raportowania osiągnięć przez przedsiębiorstwa znalazły odzwierciedlenie w przepisach o charakterze obligatoryjnym i standardach fakultatywnych zarówno krajowych, jak międzynarodowych. Omówienie i ocena tych regulacji jest celem niniejszego opracowania. Aby cel ten osiągnąć, najpierw ukazano najważniejsze wyzwania przed jakimi współcześnie stoi system sprawozdawczości przedsiębiorstw. Przeprowadzone rozważania potwierdziły, iż raportowanie problemów o wymiarze niefinansowym wprowadza do systemu sprawozdawczego inną perspektywę postrzegania przedsiębiorstwa, co może być źródłem dodatkowych korzyści zarówno dla samego przedsiębiorstwa, jak i adresatów sprawozdań. Innym wnioskiem, jaki wyprowadzono w toku rozważań, jest stwierdzenie, że przydatną koncepcją ujawniania informacji niefinansowych jest integrowanie ich z informacjami finansowymi w jednym spójnym raporcie. Dodatkowo wykazano, że zasady sporządzania sprawozdania zintegrowanego i jego zawartość tematyczna odpowiadają wymogom określonym przez nowe unijne i polskie uregulowania prawne systemu sprawozdawczości przedsiębiorstw.
