| Tiivistelmä: | In order to examine an old research question of 'Do firms hurt their financial performance by damaging stakeholder interests', this study utilizes the databases of U.S. government on-line listings of fines for environmental breaches, unsafe workplaces, fraudulent accounting standards, and product recalls. Using a sample of all non-financial S&P 500 firms during the most recent full-cycle of 1998-2003, sales margins of firms fell by 0.8 per cent if they announced a product recall and by 0.4 per cent if cited by OSHA for an unsafe workplace, and shareholder return was significantly reduced by an EPA or SEC prosecution etc. |
