Research Summary
Conceptualizing and measuring environmental sustainability
by
Michael W. Toffel
Description
This research involves developing clarity around the murky construct of environmental sustainability, and improving techniques to measure corporate environmental performance. My prior research in this domain includes
clarifying environmental sustainability
as a construct, and a
case about one company’s sustainability initiative
and its approach to greenhouse gas emissions management, and a case about green building that analyzes performance implications of the LEED green building process standard. Other prior work has
tested the
predictive validity of environmental ratings
,
and developing better ways to
measure environmental performance
using Toxic Release Inventory data and to
deploy hybrid life cycle assessment techniques
.
