In this study, a sample of manufacturing companies listed in Taiwan between 2015 and 2016 are used to examine the relationship between environmental strategy, environmental management and firm value. The scores of environmental strategy and environmental management are accessed from social responsibility report by content analytical method. The empirical results show that compared to those firms with reactive environmental strategy, the firms implementing a proactive environmental strategy did not increase the firm value. This may be due to the fact that companies in Taiwan are more conservative on environmental strategy while they pay more attention on operational and marketing strategy. The benefit of implementing a proactive environmental strategy may lack significant effect in the short-term. On the other hand, implementing proactive environmental management will increase the firm value through cost savings and reduction of penalties arising from negative environmental events. The empirical results also show that those companies that implement reactive environmental strategy and aggressive environmental management have high firm value, indicating that companies become involved in environmental management with satisfied stakeholders will have a positive impact on firm value. |
