Company Y, being the conglomerate it is, needs to keep its image not only among top tier investors, but the general public as well. Thus, they give a higher priority to CSR and sustainability than X. Plus the CSR plan by Y is much better defined than X, with its Action plan and established parameters.
The CSR reporting of X may have little effect on its image among its various stakeholders as it is a huge corporation that operates in a large number of countries, which has been involved in hundreds of mega budget projects with a reputation that clearly precedes itself.
In comparison, the CSR reporting by Company Y has a bigger impact on all stakeholders (direct and indirect) than the CSR reporting by Company X, the biggest reasons being that CSR plan of Y addresses more pressing issues of the society and is far more diversified.
X has not shown a clear summary of the budget allocated for its CSR agenda; on the other hand Y has published the costs incurred for its CSR Programme. Xs reporting is less transparent than Y and therefore, less likely to impact Xs
