Abstract
Governments across the globe have embraced mandatory environmental information disclosure (EID) as a vital component of their pollution control strategies. EID is at the forefront of ‘next-generation’ policy instruments that aim to improve environmental protection through greater public oversight of polluters.1 Commentators have dubbed it part of a ‘third wave’ of pollution abatement strategies, after ‘command-and-control’ regulation and market-based approaches.2 Studies have shown that EID can be an effective pollution reduction strategy in a variety of contexts in both developed and developing countries.3
