Abstract This article demonstrates an approach for analyzing and communicating the financial implications of a company's environmental exposures. In environmentally sensitive industries, this approach can help companies to benchmark themselves against rivals, to identify major sources of environmental risk and opportunity, to assign financial values to risk‐mitigating options, and to communicate their environmental strategies to the investment community and other stake‐holders. © 2000 World Resources Institute.
