EPA's voluntary 33/50 Program: impac on toxic releases and economic performance of firms

Article Abstract:

The EPA's 33/50 Program is intended to encourage voluntary, proactive environmental management by business enterprises. The impact of the program within the first three years of its introduction (1991-93) was investigated, with particular focus on the toxic release and the economic performance of chemical companies. The findings indicate that the program had statistically significant negative effects on the firms' current return on investment, but statistically significant positive effects on their expected long-term profitability.
