Information provision is increasingly being used as a regulatory
tool. The US Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI) Program required facilities that handle threshold
amounts of specific chemicals to report yearly their releases and
transfers of these toxic substances. The TRI data have become the
yardstick by which regulators, investors, environmental
organizations, and local community groups measure company
environmental performance. This book, which was originally
published in 2005, tells the story of the TRI from its origin and
implementation to its revision and retrenchment. The mix of case
study and quantitative analysis shows how the TRI operates and how
the information provided affects decisions in both the public and
private sectors. The lessons drawn about the operation of
information provision programs should be of interest to multiple
audiences.
