[PDF] Measuring Corporate Environmental Justice Performance

This paper develops...a measure [of corporate environmental justice performance] based on the extent to which toxic air emissions from industrial facilities disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities and low-income people…In a number of cases, minorities bear more than half of the total human health impacts from the firm's industrial air pollution.
