Environmental risk management and the cost of capital
Our study of 267 U.S. firms shows that improved environmental risk management is associated with a lower cost of capital. Our findings provide an alternative perspective on the environmental‐economic performance relationship, which has been dominated by the view that improvements in economic performance stem from better resource utilization. Firms also benefit from improved environmental risk management through a reduction in their cost of equity…
The Introduction of Postconsumer Recycled Material into Tyvek® Production, Marketing, and Organizational Challenges
In the late 1980s, with the advent of increased consumer environmental awareness, DuPont faced a challenge with its TYVEK® family of nonwoven polyethylene textile products. TYVEK is used in a wide variety of applications ranging from house wrap to medical packaging. One of the most visible portions of the business is envelopes used by FedEx (previously known as Federal Express), the wellknown courier and delivery service and by the U.S. Postal Se…
Regulation, Business, and Sustainable Development
A growing number of firms have begun work toward the development of innovative systems that consume fewer resources, reduce waste, enhance productivity, while creating new market opportunities. However, all of this environmentally friendly innovation occurs under varying types/levels of regulation and the role of such regulation is still debatable. To date, little research exists that investigates the relative importance of market-driven versus r…
Conoco and the Vapor Recovery Project
We describe Conoco's closed‐loop approach to reducing undesirable emissions through vapor recovery at some of its natural gas production facilities near Corpus Christi, Texas. In response to the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), Conoco developed a technological solution that routed emissions from the facilities to fuel scrubbers and condensers to capture usable product and hazardous air pollutants. Usable product was sold. Nonsalable …
A Framework for Information Systems in Life‐Cycle‐Oriented Environmental Management
Although business firms have improved their environmental performance, a variety of forces are pushing businesses toward adopting environmental management throughout the entire life cycle of their products and processes. In this article we discuss the information systems elements of an environmental management approach we call “life‐cycle‐oriented environmental management” (LCOEM).This approach requires the firm to manage the effects of its proce…
