Induztrialization edge and economic growth bring some consequences to the society, such as pollution or environmental damage. The responsibility is not only lies in business sector but also contributed by society and public sector-government institution as their daily operational produce some waste material. One ofmaterial use in such organization daily activities is paper. Unproper use of paper will impact on cost inefficiency, as well as environmental damage due to the main material of producing paper taken from forest.Government as public service organization mostly deals with paper in their daily administrative business. While the othersites it also encouraged to put priority on budget efficiency included in paper consumption. This study aims to describe in what extend government efficiency initiative align in it environmental concerned. Specifically this study will explore the use of paper as one of most daily resource in government office using environmental management accounting (EMA)framework. The results convey that notion on some regulation pertaining with budget efficiency in Indonesia has similarity with the spirit and the benefit provided in term of EMA application. By implementing EMA properly, government may get information on cost efficiency along with environmental sustainability.

The European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme and the ISO 14001 environmental management standard are currently getting widely adopted by firms. This research shows that the diffusion represents a significant step of the environmental management rationalisation (in firms). This phenomenon gets benefit from the very wide diffusion of quality assurance's standards. The latests' principles are being transposed to environment by means of environmental management schemes. Indeed the application of those standards relies on competencies acquired by industrial organisations regarding quality management : activity's formalisation, management tools, transversal management. However, the " extension " of the quality assurance to new applications fields take a specific meaning in regard of the current evolution of environmental issues. In fact, environmental management schemes contribute to the emergence of a negociated regulation of environment. A higher competency of the industrialists, the involvment into an innovation and permanent improvement's dynamic as well as the investment into management tools allow the firms to be an actor of this negociated regulation. ; Les référentiels de " management environnemental ", le Règlement Européen Éco-audit et la norme ISO 14001, connaissent aujourd'hui une large diffusion auprès des entreprises.

En effet, les référentiels de management environnemental participent à l'émergence d'une régulation négociée de l'environnement. Une plus grande compétence de l'industriel, l'engagement dans une dynamique d'innovation et d'amélioration permanente et l'investissement dans une instrumentation de gestion lui permettent d'être acteur de cette régulation négociée.

AbstractThis study investigates the relationship between environmental performance and market values of firms exposed to environmental risk that manage effectively to reduce it. Using a sample of 8112 US firm‐year observations during 2012–2020, we document a positive relationship between firms' environmental performance and market‐to‐book value. Moreover, we show that this relationship holds primarily when firms are more vulnerable to environmental risk and proactively manage to reduce it. Our paper not only agrees with the previous literature showing that it pays to be good but, most importantly, shows that such an approach is reflected in higher valuation mostly when companies use sound environmental risk‐control strategies. Contributions and implications are discussed.
