the relationship between corporate Environmental Performance and Environmental disclosure an empirical study in china
Journal of Environmental Management, 2014Co-Authors: X H Meng, Saixing Zeng, Guoyou Qi, Z B ZhangAbstract:Abstract Based on a content analysis of 533 Chinese listed companies, this study examines how corporate Environmental Performance affects not only the level of detail of a company's Environmental disclosures, but also what information is disclosed. The results show that (1) both poor and good performers have more disclosure than the median (i.e., “mixed”) performers, which provides empirical evidence to support a nonlinear relationship between corporate Environmental Performance and Environmental disclosure; (2) poor performers disclose more soft information on Environmental Performance than good performers, and good performers disclose more solid information; and (3) although poor performers increase disclosure after being exposed as Environmental violators, they avoid disclosing negative Environmental information, such as the violation and the associated penalties. This study provides additional evidence for a nonlinear relationship between Environmental Performance and disclosure in emerging markets, and suggests Environmental disclosure may not be a valid signal to differentiate good performers from poor performers in contemporary China.

a model of the global and institutional antecedents of high level corporate Environmental Performance
Business & Society, 2004Co-Authors: Mark P. Sharfman, Teresa M. Shaft, Laszlo TihanyiAbstract:Stories of firms that exceed local compliance requirements in their Environmental Performance appear routinely. However, we have limited theoretical explanations of what propels these firms to exceed compliance. Our theory suggests that global competitive and institutional pressures lead multinational firms to develop highlevel, Environmental management systems (EMS) that make them more competitive. For economic and other reasons, select firms make the choice to rationalize their collective Environmental Performance to the highest common denominator rather than the lowest. Regulations around the world differ widely and are a moving target in many settings. The need to comply with such myriad, shifting rules leads to firms creating EMS to help stay ahead of regulations worldwide. Using institutional and internationalization theories as our basis, we offer a propositional model concerning global competitive/institutional pressures and their effects on corporate Environmental Performance. We conclude the pap...

analyzing the relationship between green innovation and Environmental Performance in large manufacturing firms
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2021Co-Authors: Shafique Ur Rehman, Sascha Kraus, Syed Asim Shah, Dmitry Khanin, Raj V MahtoAbstract:Abstract Extant literature suggests that green intellectual capital (GIC), green human resource management (GHRM), and green innovation (GI) impacts the Environmental Performance of firms. In this paper, we argue that the relationship between GIC, GHRM, GI and Environmental Performance is more complex than previously suggested. We propose that neither GIC nor GHRM are directly related to Environmental Performance. We argue instead that GI mediates the relationships between GIC, GHRM, and Environmental Performance. Further, we suggest that Environmental strategies are directly related to Environmental Performance, while also moderating the relationship between GI and Environmental Performance. We tested our proposed model on a sample of 244 large manufacturing firms. The results of a structural equation modeling analysis provide support for most of our hypotheses.

corporate social responsibility and Environmental Performance the mediating role of Environmental strategy and green innovation
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2020Co-Authors: Sascha Kraus, Shafique Ur Rehman, Javier Sendra F GarciaAbstract:Abstract This study investigates the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on Environmental Performance, using data from 297 large manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Our results show that CSR has no direct significant influence on Environmental Performance, but is positively correlated to Environmental strategy and green innovation, which again improve Environmental Performance, i.e. they significantly mediate between CSR and Environmental Performance. Our study offers a valuable model for general managers of manufacturing organizations and policymakers to manage CSR, Environmental strategy, and green innovation in examining Environmental Performance. It can help to assist general managers of large manufacturing organizations to strengthen their internal resources like CSR, Environmental strategy, and green innovation to enhance Environmental Performance.

covenants with weak swords iso 14001 and facilities Environmental Performance
Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2005Co-Authors: Aseem Prakash, Matthew PotoskiAbstract:Voluntary Environmental programs are codes of progressive Environmental conduct that firms pledge to adopt. This paper investigates whether ISO 14001, a voluntary program with a weak sword-a weak monitoring and sanctioning mechanism-can mitigate shirking and improve participants' Environmental Performance. Sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 14001 is the most widely adopted voluntary Environmental program in the world. Our analysis of over 3,000 facilities regulated as major sources under the U.S. Clean Air Act suggests that ISO 14001-certified facilities reduce their pollution emissions more than non-certified facilities. This result persists even after controlling for facilities' emission and regulatory compliance histories as well as addressing potential endogeneity issues between facilities' Environmental Performance and their decisions to join ISO 14001. © 2005 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management
