The Impact of Carbon Disclosure Mandates on Emissions and Financial Operating Performance
Presented by Stefan Reichelstein, Stanford University with discussant Naomi Soderstrom, University of Melbourne
Mandating the disclosure of carbon emissions as part of companies’ Environmental Social and Governance reporting has received increasing attention among scholars and policymakers. Stanford Professor Stefan Reichelstein discusses a UK carbon disclosure mandate for listed firms. His difference-in-differences design shows that firms affected by the mandate reduced their emissions by about 8% relative to a control group of European firms. He finds that the treated firms experienced no significant change in their gross margins, indicating that the increased transparency associated with the UK mandate appears to be another effective policy lever for reducing corporate carbon emissions.
