Abstract

Sustainability reporting has been standardized as a practice in Japan since 2001 in compliance with the Ministry of Environment’s environmental reporting guidelines. Manufacturing companies were quick to report their environmental costs as a result of innovations in product designs and process improvements. The economic benefits were estimated by the reporting companies in relation to their environmental costs. However, this case study of industries further explore how environmental innovations measured through environmental costs of Japanese automotive and electronics companies impact their financial performance.
