Why Focus on the Cost of Pollution?
How much a firm pollutes influences both its equity valuation and cost of debt. Our Maximiser assesses how much cutting pollution could boost a firm’s equity valuation and lower its cost of debt.
One way to measure pollution is to assess the financial cost (“externality”) pollution inflicts on society, as measured by the Harvard Business School (HBS) impact-weighted accounts. This initiative assesses not only a firm’s financial results, but also the financial cost of its pollution.
