Corporate Environmentalism: Motivations and Mechanisms
Congratulations to Professor Nives Dolšak and her co-authors on their latest article Corporate Environmentalism: Motivations and Mechanisms. The article, published in Annual Review of Environment and Resources, reviews two broad categories of corporate environmentalism (CE); direct CE and indirect CE. As the article goes on to explain, three key lessons emerge. First, firm-level characteristics, particularly size and economic performance, encourage CE. Second, although pressure from external stakeholders, especially environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), has played an important role in discouraging policies that harm the environment, its effect on encouraging pro environmental activities remains unclear. Third, the literature is ripe with serious methodological issues.The article is co-authored by Elizabeth Chrun and Aseem Prakash.
