| Abstract / Description | Do investors, such as environmentally responsible funds, influence
firms' decisions to implement environmental management practices? We
present the results of a survey analysing the implementation standards
of environmental management practices subject to the influence of
environmentally responsible investment funds. Results indicate that
firms listed in environmentally responsible funds perform better in
their environmental management practices. However, this good performance
does not seem to be influenced by the desire of a firm to be listed in
an environmentally responsible fund but by other reasons, i.e. a
certified environmental management system. |
