Dear colleagues,
For those interested in the relationship of corporate environmental and financial performance, take a look a new article in the
Journal of Industrial Ecology, - Koellner, Thomas, Sangwon Suh, Olaf Weber, Corinne Moser, and Roland W. Scholz. 2007. Environmental Impacts of Conventional and Sustainable Investment Funds Compared Using Input-Output Life-Cycle Assessment. Journal of Industrial Ecology 11 (3):41-60. http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1162/jiec.2007.1147
This study compares equity funds that are managed according to sustainability goals with conventionally managed funds with respect to their environmental impacts. It is the first study, to my knowledge, that uses input-output analysis for this purpose.
