Abstract

L'étude est réalisée moyennant un design quasi-expérimental offrant aux répondants la possibilité de répartir leur investissement entre trois entreprises présentant des différences sur le plan de la performance environnementale. L'expérience est réalisée sur un échantillon de 70 intervenants sur le marché financier. Les résultats indiquent que l'information environnementale est prise en compte par l'investisseur lors de son choix de portefeuille. La société ayant la plus faible performance environnementale perd 13% de l'investissement par rapport au groupe témoin et la société ayant la meilleure performance connaît une hausse de l'investissement de 22%. Les répondants considèrent que la faible performance environnementale génère un risque financier et ils associent la bonne performance environnementale à une opportunité financière.
