Abstract

[ES] Este trabajo contrasta empíricamente la influencia que tiene el anuncio de certificación ISO 14001 por parte de una empresa en su valor de mercado. El análisis se realiza sobre una muestra de 80 observaciones de certificación de calidad medioambiental de los sistemas o procesos de planta de grandes empresas españolas que cotizaron en el mercado contínuo de la Bolsa de Madrid durante el periodo 1996-2002. Los resultados son obtenidos a través de la metodología de estudio de eventos y revelan que la certificación ISO 14001 no representa una señal de proactividad medioambiental lo suficientemente clara como para generar en el mercado de capitales expectativas de eficiencia y rentabilidad a largo plazo.
