Includes bibliographical references and index. Information disclosure and environmental performance -- How does information disclosure work? -- Reducing toxic releases and community risks -- States of green : regional variations in environmental performance -- Facility-level perspectives on the TRI and environmental performance -- Environmental leaders and laggards : explaining performance -- Conclusions and policy implications. The authors find that TRI - probably the best-known example of information disclosure - has had a substantial effect over time on the environmental performance of industry. But, drawing on case studies from across the nation, they show that the improvement is not uniform: some facilities have been leaders while others have been laggards. The authors argue that information disclosure has an important role to play in environmental policy--but only as part of an integrated set of policy tools that includes conventional regulation."--pub. desc. |
