Measuring environmental performance: use of the toxics release inventory (TRI) and other US environmental databases
考察了1990年代可用的衡量美国企业环境绩效的数据库，包括EPA的有毒物质释放清单等，并回顾了利用这些数据库的管理领域重要研究，指出了提升环境绩效数据质量和数量的三个趋势。
Abstract This article examines the most comprehensive databases that measure US corporate environmental performance that have become available during the 1990s. These include the US Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and databases maintained by Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini, and Co., the Council on Economic Priorities and the Investor Responsibility Research Center. We describe these databases and identify the significant studies on environmental performance in the field of management that use these databases. We indicate three trends that should improve the quality and quantity of publicly available environmental performance data. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
