Kraft, Mark Stephan, and Troy D. AbelCambridge, Massachusetts ;London, England :The MIT Press,2011.©20111 online resource (264 p.)American and Comparative Environmental PolicyDescription based upon print version of record.0-262-51557-1 0-262-01495-5 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."Coming Clean is the first book to investigate the process of information disclosure as a policy strategy for environmental protection. This process, which requires that firms disclose information about their environmental performance, is part of an approach to environmental protection that eschews the conventional command-and-control regulatory apparatus, which sometimes leads government and industry to focus on meeting only minimal standards. The authors of Coming Clean examine the effectiveness of information disclosure in achieving actual improvements in corporate environmental performance by analyzing data from the federal government's Toxics Release Inventory, or TRI, and drawing on an original set of survey data from corporations and federal, state, and local officials, among other sources.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.American and comparative environmental policy.Environmental policyUnited StatesDecision makingEnvironmental reportingUnited StatesDisclosure of informationUnited StatesElectronic books.Environmental policyDecision making.Environmental reportingDisclosure of information333.71/4Kraft Michael E.1028903Stephan MarkAbel Troy D.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464462103321Coming clean2445079UNINA
