Italian term or phrase: bilancio sociale/ambientale
Salve! Sto traducendo un testo e devo ammettere che non è la prima volta che vedo questo termine: bilancio sociale. In questo contesto, esiste un equivalente inglese?

I marchi sono considerati una fonte facilmente fruibile ed affidabile, ma l’informazione a punto vendita e sul packaging è valutata una buona alternativa, mentre i bilanci sociali ed ambientali sono troppo tecnici se direttamente rivolti al consumatore.

social and environmenatl corporate responsibility report


Explanation:
The bilanci in this case are reports issued by companies throughout the world. Here it is saying that the information that companies give about their products in these reports is too technical to be easily understood.

Explanation:
I agree with James, although I don't think it's necessary to specify in the translation that it's part of the CSR documents.

Notes to answerer
Asker: But what does it mean? "Whereas social and environmental balances are too technical if directly presented to the customer." ? What exactly *is* a social/environmental balance? Are they talking about an actual balance sheet? I see a lot of hits for the term but in all my years of being a (native) English speaker, I don't think I've heard it until recently.

agree  philgoddard: It's balance sheet, not balance. If you Google it, asker, you'll find out that it's not literally an accounting document.
