Abstract

This study employes dynamic models to examine the assocations between enivromental disclosure (ED), environmental performance (EP) and financial performance (FP) using a longitudinal multi-country sample. It responds to research calls from recent studies to investigate the pair-wise direction of causation between ED, EP and FP, and whether prior environmental disclosure impacts current environmental performance. Importantly, we find good environmental performance to be strongly associated with good financial performance. The causation tests imply one-way causation between the consturcts of interest. The results also show that prior environmental disclosure does not Granger cause current environmental performance. The key policy implication is that environmental performance should be central in the formulation of management strategy at the corporate level and in government policy at both national and international levels.
