Not paying for our past: Government, business and the debate on contaminated land in the UK

Josephine Maltby

Business Strategy and the Environment, 1995, vol. 4, issue 2, 73-85

Abstract: It is difficult to overemphasize the extent to which battles over the availability of information played a fundamental role in environmental controversy (Hays, 1987: 537). Since the 1990 Environmental Protection Act, there has been controversy in the UK about the extent to which businesses should be required to identify and clean up contaminated land. This paper examines the controversy in the context of wider debates about the function of corporate social reporting.
