Tiivistelmä:Measures of corporate environmental justice performance can be a useful tool in promoting corporate social responsibility and documenting systematic environmental injustice patterns. This article constructs such a measure based on the extent of toxic air emissions from industrial facilities disproportionately affecting racial and ethnic minorities and people on low incomes. Applying the measure to 100 major corporate air polluters in the United States, wide variation of disproportional exposures is found. In 54 cases, minorities, representing 31.8% of the US population, bear excess burden; in 15 of these, the minority share rises above half of the total human health effects from the firm's industrial air pollution. In 66 cases, poor people, 12.8% of the US population, bear excess burden.
