【内容摘要】

We examine the impact of mandatory non-financial disclosure on firms’ investment decisions within the realm of mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Leveraging the staggered adoption of environmental disclosure mandates across the globe, we find that 1) acquirers increasingly target firms with better environmental performance post-mandate, 2) these acquirers realize positive short-term and long-term abnormal stock returns, 3) they experience substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and environmental damage costs following the acquisitions, and 4) the positive influence of environmental disclosure mandates on M&A outcomes is more pronounced among acquirers with a higher concentration of long-term investors. Our evidence suggests that augmenting environmental disclosure through regulatory changes can precipitate a shift toward pro-environmental behavior by acquirers.
