Das Thema Umwelt hat für Unternehmen eine große Bedeutung bekommen. Durch immer umfassendere Umweltgesetze und öffentlichen Druck sind Unternehmen gezwungen, verbesserte Umweltstandards einzuführen.

Das Thema Umwelt hat für Unternehmen eine große Bedeutung bekommen. Durch immer umfassendere Umweltgesetze und öffentlichen Druck sind Unternehmen gezwungen, verbesserte Umweltstandards einzuführen. Gelingt es einem Unternehmen nicht, die Umweltauflagen zu erfüllen, so führt dies zu einem Verlust des guten Rufs und in Verbindung damit zu Kursverlusten, wie das Beispiel von Shell in den letzten Jahren deutlich gezeigt hat. Umgekehrt wirken sich eine solide Umweltpolitik und umweltschützende Maßnahmen vorteilhaft auf die Unternehmensbewertung und den Börsenkurs aus. "Corporate Risk and the Environment" erläutert sowohl die Umweltrisiken, denen sich ein Unternehmen stellen muss als auch die Vorteile, die ihm eine vernünftige Umweltpolitik einbringt. Darüber hinaus wird gezeigt, wie Unternehmen ihre Umweltstrategien finanzieren und wie sich dies in ihrer Bilanz auswirkt. Mit Fallstudien und Interviews großer internationaler Konzerne, wie z.B. BP und Shell. Eine unverzichtbare Lektüre für Investoren und Kapitalgeber.
