Since the mid-1990s, there has been substantially increasing academic interest in use of information disclosure as a regulatory tool to affect environmentally related behavior by firms.

During the course of this review, various theories, frameworks, and principles underlying contemporary thinking and analysis on informational regulatory approaches to environmental protection will be identified and considered.
