Abstract:

How does a corporation’s dependence on its shareholders affect the sustainability of its commitment to
environmental performance? Although the literature has investigated how the financial markets respond
to environmental and green initiatives, it has yet to examine the relationship between a firm’s
commitment to the environment and its dependence on the equity markets. In this research, we explore the
relationship between equity dependence and environmental performance and find equity dependence is
significantly related to corporations’ environmental concerns but not their environmental strengths.
