Socially Responsible Investing and Multinationals’ Environmental Harm Evidence from Global Remote Sensing Data 1: Nova SBE, Portugal; 2: University of Manchester This paper examines how Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) capital affects the environmental footprint of multinational firms. Using the inverse relationship between industrial pollution and satellite-based vegetation health measured by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), we combine NDVI with SRI ownership data for 52,806 facilities operated by 911 multinationals across 124 countries from 2006 to 2020. Higher SRI ownership improves nearby vegetation, a result corroborated using mergers as plausibly exogenous ownership shocks. However, improvements at OECD facilities coincide with deterioration at non-OECD sites, indicating pollution displacement that intensifies with stronger investor engagement. | |
