- Corporate Social and Environmental Performance and Their Relation to Financial Performance and Institutional Ownership: Empirical Evidence on Canadian Firms
This study tests empirically the relation of social and environmental performance to financial performance and institutional ownership. Utilizing four years of panel data for a sample of Canadian firms, we find a significant and positive relationship between a firm's environmental performance and its financial performance. In addition, our findings indicate a significant, positive relationship between a firm's social performance and the number of institutions owning its shares. These results partially support arguments that corporate social and environmental performance is positively related to firm success....

Environmental financial assurance (EFA) measures are important tools to pursue environmental objectives. Today, their most common use is to ensure that funds will be available to guarantee effective mine closure and reclamation so that ongoing environmental problems are avoided. Also, effective EFA policies have the potential to reduce the scope for public criticism of industry practices. This report considers issues and policies in the use of financial assurance; analyses trends revealed through a survey of industry, governments and financial institutions; and speculates on future developments....

- Grave Diggers. A Report on Mining in Burma
The report is divided into four chapters and five appendices. The first chapter deals with the history, and current (post-1994) state of mining and mineral-related legislation in Burma. The second and third chapters examine in some detail the operations of specific companies, including the large number of exploration projects which may, or may not become working mines. The fourth chapter examines the "Friedland empire," a brace of enterprises which includes the Monywa copper mine. This mine is not only the biggest of its kind in Burma, but is also mine promoter Robert Friedland's most important single investment. Appendix I briefly summarizes the impacts of copper mining and, in particular, the processing method used at Monywa. Appendix II looks at the consequences to social conditions of mineral development. Appendix III examines the heroin epidemic and the spread of AIDS/HIV in mining towns. Appendix IV is an interview with a former mining engineer. Appendix V summarises additional observations gleaned from discussions with Burmese miners....

- Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Canada and Japan: Sector-Specific Estimates and Managerial and Economic Implications
Many firms generate large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when they burn fossil fuels in their production processes. In addition, production of raw materials and other inputs the firms procure for their operations also generates greenhouse gases indirectly. These direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions occur in many sectors of our economies. In this paper we first present sector-specific estimates for such greenhouse gas emissions. We then show that estimates for such sector-specific greenhouse gas emissions are often required for various types of corporate as well as public policy analyses in both domestic and international contexts....

Natural background concentrations and cycling processes must be known in order to assess the extent and impact of industrial releases of metals to the environment, be it on a global, regional or local scale. There is thus an urgent requirement for further research into quantifying metal emissions from both natural and industrial sources, and into the most appropriate methodologies that may be applied to obtaining increased accuracy in such estimates. A well-coordinated, systematic effort is required to collect representative information so that a better understanding of long-range atmospheric metals transport and its environmental effects can be achieved....
